Although many people know that they should be more physically active, they are not sure how to start. There is an amazing variety of exercise information and equipment available for those who want to improve their fitness level. Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s best for you. Well, before starting any fitness program, be sure to check with your doctor to make sure you’re healthy enough to start an exercise routine, even if it’s fairly mild. The important thing is to start and continue. One of the best ways to start exercising is to simply walk on a treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes per session 2 to 3 times a week. Having quality fitness equipment is a key factor for success. Here’s some info on one treadmill we particularly like, the Bodymax 1200CA programmable.

With many features you’d find on a treadmill costing much more, the Bodymax 1200CA has a powerful 1.5 hp motor that has a peak 2.5 hp.

Eventually you may even choose to use the Bodymax 1200CA, which shouldn’t be a problem due to the strong and capable motor that is the heart of this superior machine. Another way to challenge yourself on a treadmill is to adjust the incline. The incline level of the Bodymax 1200CA ranges from zero to a challenging 12% grade that simulates walking uphill.
