3 reasons to buy a treadmill mat under your treadmill
Why do you need a treadmill mat for your exercise equipment?
There are 3 reasons to buy a fitness equipment mat:
- Protect your equipment;
- Protect your floor; and
- Reduce the noise of the treadmill.
Mats are very inexpensive considering how much they protect both your fitness equipment and your floor.
1. Do you protect your exercise equipment?
The mats are made of PVC which is like a rubber mat. Essentially, they are a very sturdy exercise mat. This means they are spunge shaped and create a smoother surface than your garage or basement made of concrete, vinyl, laminate, or wood floors. Obviously, using a treadmill requires you to hit the treadmill (or whatever fitness equipment item you have), which, if you’re on a hard surface, the treadmill won’t give way (the mat is an exception, but how about protect your carpet?).
Giving a mat offers results in less jarring to the frame and your kit components, which is beneficial in the long run.
2. Protect your soil
Unless you use your exercise equipment on concrete, prolonged use could damage your floor. Treadmills (and all fitness equipment) are heavy. They can scratch, dent and chip, depending on the surface. A mat is an inexpensive way to protect your floor and is easy to place.
Also, fitness equipment is machines with lubricants. Over time, an exercise machine can spill lubricant on your floor, which can damage it.
3. Reduce noise
The spunge mat also helps dampen and dampen the noise an exercise machine makes. Any home appreciates the noise reduction of the treadmill. Carbide on a hard surface is likely louder than carbide on a treadmill on a sponge-like material.
Fortunately, quality treadmill mats are inexpensive and well worth the expense. Your online treadmill store also most likely sells treadmill mats. Don’t forget to check out the accessories at your fitness equipment store; It could save your floor and extend your equipment.
