The Treadmill Anatomy

A treadmill has a wide conveyor belt controlled by an electric motor or flywheel of varying power. To remain on the belt, which is designed to move backward over the rollers, you need to move forward. The conveyor belt supports your weight by letting it flow over the treadmill. You'll be able to raise or lower the deck to the desired incline position to simulate hill climbs found outdoors. This offers you a good cardio workout and brings variety to your regimen.

Damping elements are put underneath the deck to help in shock absorption. The belt is also cushioned for convenience when you're walking or running on it. As one, the motor, belt, deck and rollers control a treadmill's quality and performance.
