A Treadmill Mat is the Most Important Accessory for Your Treadmill

By Matt Traylor

There are expensive treadmills with all the best features you can imagine, and even some you can't, and then there are budget lines of treadmills that barely have a handful of workout programs. But regardless of how much or how little the treadmill cost you, you can buy as many useless accessories as you like. Of course, you could also buy some very useful accessories, such as a treadmill mat, that are well worth your money.

The first thing you may want to consider buying is a home repair kit for your treadmill. This will be handy for minor problems you may encounter with your new toy and will save you from having to spend the time and money visiting a repair shop.

The only limitation of a repair kit is that it is only good for minor problems. It is important that you take your machine in for a professional if it requires major work. But the upside is that most treadmills will come with adequate warranty to cover any mechanical or parts failure.

It is crucial that you keep the treadmill clean so it will endure the lifetime of operation it was built for. Keeping the treadmill free of debris build up will go a long way to avoiding certain problems that frequently plaque machines.

A cleaning kit can be purchased and it usually will come with a set of tools as well as instructions on how to regularly perform some maintenance cleaning. The kit normally includes a cleaning brush, cleaning solution, and an application wand.

As with any motor, lubrication is an important part of protecting and maintaining the motor. Your treadmill will run into motor problems early if it is not properly lubricated. Lack of proper care is the leading reason that most motors will die or suffer serious problems before they should.

One of the most important accessories that some would say is a must more than it is an option is a treadmill mat. The mat goes underneath your treadmill to protect junk such as motor lube from messing with your floor or carpet. The mat will also catch any unwanted loose carpet fibers and ground dust from going upward into your treadmill whenever it is in use.

There is also a treadmill cover that goes over the treadmill when it is not in use. This is not as important because the purpose it serves is really keeping dust off the top of the treadmill. It is more important to keep dust from going up and inside the motor by putting the treadmill on a mat.

Everyone has particular specifications they want for their treadmills but most of these are well worth the money for anyone who wants to keep the treadmills functional for the duration of their useful life. - 17274
