Running is a popular sport because it does not require a lot of equipment, but above all willpower.
Having good shoes can be enough, but sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself to go for a run in the rain or to register in a gym.
And for a price similar to an indoor membership, you can buy a treadmill for your home.
Better, if you don't have much space, you can buy a foldable or space-saving treadmill.

How to choose your foldable treadmill?
Before buying a treadmill, you need to know what you will be using it for.
You will not invest the same amount depending on the frequency of your training and your needs.
Also, the carpet surface is a key point to choose.
The fact that it is foldable saves space in small spaces and does not have to be cluttered with equipment worthy of a gym, but not a living room.
You can also choose your belt according to the different speeds available and its dimensions.
Also check if the mat is compatible with your body type and weight.
Finally, if the carpet is guaranteed by the manufacturer, it's even better!
Bonus tip: Don't forget to check if the treadmill has good cushioning so you don't hurt your joints when running or walking briskly.
