Introduction:
Like many people, you may have a hard time maintaining a healthy weight. Our modern diet tends to be too high in fat, and our modern lifestyle leaves little time for an effective and comprehensive exercise program. But did you know that the more lean muscle you have, the more calories your body can burn? Therefore, even a modest increase in lean muscle mass can translate into an easier-to-manage body weight. We have found that one of the best ways to start an exercise program is to walk on a treadmill. You can start at a slow, relaxed pace and gradually work your way up to a more vigorous jog or run as you get stronger. However, having a quality treadmill that is not too small is key. Here’s some information on one we’ve found to be durable and versatile: the Horizon treadmill, model Elite 507.
