When people think of treadmills, they often think of running on the treadmill. Certain equipment is designed for running, but there is also equipment designed for walking. Have a walking treadmill at home, you can get a convenient exercise without going out, and you don’t need to worried about the weather outside.

The best treadmills for walking has a comfortable belt surface, a sturdy frame that doesn't shake with every step while being easy on the knees, and an easy-to-read console with programs that let you hit your stride with minimal button pressing.

Investing in a strong motor is always a primary focus when it comes to treadmills. Example having a 4.0 HP motor is great for a lot of activity on a treadmill, but isn’t necessary for primary walkers. When going with a walking treadmill it can become cost effective at that point knowing that you don’t need a motor with a lot of HP or a heavy frame to meet your needs.
