A manual treadmill, also known as a non-motorized treadmill, is a piece of exercise equipment that is powered by the user’s own effort. Unlike motorized treadmills, manual treadmills do not require electricity to operate, making them a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective option. Manual treadmills are also typically more compact and portable than motorized treadmills, making them ideal for home use or for those with limited space.
Manual treadmills offer a number of benefits over motorized treadmills. First, they are more challenging to use, which can help to burn more calories and improve cardiovascular fitness. Second, manual treadmills are more likely to engage the core and stabilizer muscles, which can help to improve balance and posture. Third, manual treadmills are less likely to cause injuries, as they do not have a motor that can suddenly accelerate or decelerate.
