Understanding Cushioning in Treadmills
A cushioned treadmill mimics the feeling of running on a cloud by absorbing shock and reducing the 'ouch' factor. It uses special materials in the deck to compress upon impact, reducing the force on knees and ankles.
This results in a rebound effect, reducing energy consumption and allowing for longer runs. This also increases exercise longevity, as less pain during and after workouts encourages longer exercise sessions.
SOLE treadmills have sleek designs, sturdy builds, and top-of-the-line cushioning, which are perfect for indoor running enthusiasts.
Top Features of SOLE’s Cushioned Treadmills
SOLE's cushioned treadmills possess features such as joint protection, enhanced comfort, durability, advanced technology with fitness app integrations, quiet operation, and energy efficiency.
- Cushioned Deck: This is the most important feature of a cushioned treadmill. The deck is typically made of a combination of elastomers, high-density foam, and other materials that compress and absorb impact as you run. The cushioning technology reduces the impact on your knees, ankles, and hips, making the workout sessions more immersive. The cushioning levels are also adjustable, allowing you to simulate different terrains and customize your workouts to your fitness level, ensuring a long-lasting investment.
- Wide Running Surface: A wider running surface, typically ranging from 20 inches to 22 inches wide provides enhanced stability and allows for a more natural stride. This is particularly beneficial for taller runners or those who prefer more freedom of movement during their workouts.
- High Weight Capacity: The weight capacity of a treadmill is the maximum weight that it can safely support, ranging from 300 pounds to 400 pounds, which can help to reduce bounce and provide a more stable running platform depending on the specific model. A treadmill with a higher weight capacity will typically have a wider frame and deck,
- Durable Frame: A well-built treadmill will have a sturdy frame that can withstand years of use. It should be typically constructed from high-gauge steel tubing with a thickness ranging from 2.0 to 3.0 millimeters and weight between 200 and 300 pounds. This is important for stability and to ensure a smooth running experience.
- Advanced technology with fitness app integrations: You can track your workouts, join virtual races, and get personalized coaching with the integrated fitness app connectivity on SOLE Fitness products through the SOLE+ app.
- Quiet Operation: Some treadmills can be quite noisy, which can be disruptive to you and others in your home. Look for a treadmill that is designed for quiet operation.
With these benefits in mind, it's easy to see why cushioned treadmills are a smart choice for anyone serious about their fitness.
