Treadmills are used mostly for home or gym exercise. Some have the treadmills for convenience. Others have them as alternatives to outdoor activity when weather keeps them inside.
this sort of regular exercise can help keep bones and muscles strong, and burn calories to keep weight in check or help people lose weight, and improve health. Still, many children and adults are inactive and families purchase treadmills to help provide an exercise option at home.
Treadmills have other uses, especially in health care. An exercise stress test is used to check heart function and signs of disease. Treadmills may be used in physical or cardiac therapy to help the patient gain back physical or heart function under the direction and watchful eye of the therapist.
