Best treadmills: Folding, manual and the best UK bargain - Evening Standard Posted: 15 Mar 2019 12:00 AM PDT ![]() A treadmill is an excellent — and maybe the best — machine for cardio exercise. Having a treadmill at home is one of the easiest ways to get those extra steps in regardless of the weather, traffic or any other excuse you might come up with at 7pm on a Tuesday. While getting to the gym is truly far more difficult than actually being there, one of the most satisfying benefits of a home treadmill is cutting out that commute. It can be there when you need it and if you opt for a folding treadmill you can tuck it away when you don't. It's that simple. Sports brands are constantly pushing innovation and your options don't have to be restricted to LISS (Low Intensity Steady State Cardio) or endless long runs. If you're looking to seriously advance your training and experience the same intensity and fun as you would in say a Barry's Bootcamp class, these are the most sought after treadmills on the market that will help push you into that athlete mind-set. Or at the very least keep you moving as you binge watch Netflix — whatever the method just keep moving. See below for our roundup of the best at-home treadmills to help get you back on track for 2019. Best High Performance Folding Treadmill:Life Fitness F1 Smart Folding TreadmillIf you are looking to take up running seriously and wish to advance your technique and push your fitness to the next level, this treadmill is a worthy investment. It's a modern machine with savvy features like the Energy saver button that lowers energy by 90 per cent when the machine is on but not in use. It's an impressive build too, the FlexDeck shock-absorption system helps to reduce joint impact, a massive bonus if you haven't been running for years; the sudden impact through your foot can have painful repercussions and hinder your progress and this machine takes that into account for novices and pros alike. The LCD screen is easy to navigate and the control pad is placed lower which feels much more intuitive. The added iPod dock allows you to listen to your music while keeping it on charge at the same time — after all there's nothing worse than a playlist cutting out mid stride and having to run to the sound of your own, panting breath. This one gets a big green flag.
Best Innovative TreadmillTechnogym Skillmill ConnectIf you're looking to replicate professional sports training in a safe, engaging and effective way at home this is the (albeit very expensive) machine for you. The Skilmill is a non-motorised curved treadmill and is entirely powered by the user. "The curved belt and self propelling nature engages more of your posterior chain allowing your glutes and hamstrings to work harder than they would on a traditional run of the mill treadmill." says Tom Bliss, London's leading Technogym trainer. Combining stamina, speed and agility training — many fans of the machine claim to feel double the burn.

This particular feature divides up your running cycles into three different zones, all built into the running deck.
