Treadmills for walking

WALKING PATH

Walking is a great way to get physically active. It is available even to those who cannot run due to advanced age or medical contraindications. Walking paths give these people the opportunity to train indoors with minimal space. Thanks to this equipment, you can save a lot, because before its appearance, ordinary treadmills were used for health-improving and sports walking.

Walking path features

Modern walking paths can be bought much cheaper than a regular jogging track. Although outwardly it is difficult to distinguish between these two types of cardio equipment, there are still differences. Walking paths have a smaller canvas, as this type of activity does not require a large area. Usually, manufacturers are limited to the size of the platform 120 by 40 cm. This is quite enough for people up to 190 cm tall to train.

Walking machines are less massive. This is due to less stress on cardio equipment. If, when choosing treadmills, the difference between the actual weight of the athlete and the allowable weight for the simulator is taken at least 15-20 kg, then in this case such a gap can be neglected or taken within 5-7 kg. Walking does not create shock loads, so the depreciation system and the deck itself of the simulators are not so powerful. But that doesn’t mean that walking cardio machines are flimsy. Brand models for fitness clubs are able to withstand hours of work and users weighing up to 200 kg.

Walking paths use low-power electric motors from 0.75 to 2 hp. With. Experience shows that this is quite enough to create a solid load and set a good pace for walking. Some models of fitness equipment can change the angle of the belt. This option is very useful, as it helps to increase the effectiveness of training by simulating walking on rough terrain.

The functionality of walking simulators

The electronic part of fitness equipment for walking is practically the same as that used in treadmills. An electronic module built into the console of the apparatus is equipped with a display informing about the training process. Usually, a standard data set for all cardio equipment is displayed: time, speed, distance, calories burned, training intensity. This fitness equipment is equipped with a heart rate sensor, which also displays information on the screen. Sensors can be either built into the handrails or remote. Premium models also have telemetry sensors that work remotely.

Professional walking simulators offer users a set of programs designed for a wide variety of users. As a rule, both sparing schemes for beginners and the elderly are presented, as well as extreme ones, with a maximum load. It is also mandatory to provide one or more slots for individual programs, which can be compiled by users or trainers themselves.
