Treadmill exercise equipment have been the nation's favourite home work-out machine for years. Walking, jogging and running are all very effective ways to burn calories and get fit but treadmills have recently acquired a rival. Elliptical trainers have proved a worthy contender for the top spot as the most popular home exercise machine by providing low-impact work outs for all levels of fitness. Despite this competition treadmills are still an extremely popular choice, particularly for runners living in areas with cold climates or unwelcoming weather.

Most treadmill exercise equipment incorporates shock absorbing technology into the running belt to help ease the impact on ankle, knee and back joints. Some models even claim to reduce impact by up to 40 percent in comparison to running on concrete sidewalks or similar outdoor conditions. Monitors that give feedback on heart rate, speed, distance and calories burned come as a standard feature on most treadmills. More expensive models may have a function that enables the treadmill to regulate speed based on your heart rate. There are numerous extra features including magazine racks, water bottle holders, built-in workout programs, built-in stereos and even built-in TVs.

There are a number of things to consider when buying treadmill exercise equipment. The motor is one of the most important features to check as it needs to be powerful enough to meet your workout needs. If you plan on running more than walking you will need a more powerful motor but generally these will cost more. The second most important feature to look for is stability. It is important to test treadmills before buying it to be sure it is comfortable and sturdy.

A majority of consumers look for treadmills with the best features for the lowest price but this isn't always as practical and economical as it seems. A good example of this can be seen with treadmill motors. It is common for some treadmills with a fairly powerful motor to be priced cheaper than others with a less powerful motor and so it may seem sensible to go for the cheaper one. However, if you check the warranty on the less expensive treadmill you may find that parts are only covered for 90 days whereas the more expensive alternative will have a 10 year warranty. Purchasing extensions on warranties will cost approximately £35 for an extra two years. The treadmill with ten years' warranty will not only cost less in future repairs but it also suggests that the product is far more reliable and durable than the cheaper model.

There are a huge number of brands available but only a few stand out from the rest:

Trimline
Being one of the most popular brands for treadmills, Trimline can be quite expensive in comparison to a lot of others. It has been said, by users and experts alike, that in some models the high prices are justifiable. Most Trimline treadmills are priced between £750 and £1,500 but could easily cost more.

Reebok
Reebok treadmills are not as impressive as the name may suggest and the company often relies on its name to sell them. However, they do have some models costing between £700 and £1,000. They usually come with plenty of features and an attractive design.

Landice
This is a brand that is considered top-of-the-line in the world of treadmill exercise equipment. Most of their treadmills are priced at £2,000 or more but you do get very durable machines with a life time warranty on parts.

Weslo
Weslo treadmills are low price with minimal features and power. They are, however, considered good for use by those who do not require an intense work out. Prices are normally around £250.
