Do you like jogging and/or running but you're not very keen on sore or tight muscles, tendons, joints and nasty injuries? The treadmill comes to the rescue. A treadmill workout is very smooth and effective without straining your joints.

This makes your treadmill workout less straining for your body. The Lifespan treadmills are equipped with eight shock absorbers, protecting your joints from the impact of hard shocks while walking, jogging or running.
Because the impact on your joints being very low, a treadmill workout is very suitable for use in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
