Lets talk about how it works. It has a cushioning belt, a
platform, a motor and a wide range of features. We can direct
its speed to increase or decrease.

The cushioning belt is around 18 inches wide and 48 inches long.
A tall person requires a belt of at least 20 inches width and 54
inches length. This should be very comfortable. Because on this
belt you jog, walk or run.

The matching motor, which rolls the belt, is another basic part
of the treadmill. A standard motor should have 1.5 horsepower. A
very good motor is of about 2 horsepower. You can alter the
speed of the motor according to your requirements. This kind of
motor can work for hours and remains workable for years.

Incline is another important part of the treadmill. By making
the treadmill inclined you can do calf workout and other
cardiovascular exercise.

The monitor displays various current stats of the machine as
well as the body. It shows time, body temperature, pulse rate,
heart rate etc. Through the monitor we can use various features
and control the speed of the treadmill.
