Benefits of a treadmill at home
Inbloom Media OÜ · Published 30.10.2026 · Updated 31.10.2026
A treadmill lets you walk or run whatever the weather, adjust the speed and train when it suits you. If you have health concerns, start with calm walking and talk to a doctor if needed.
Main benefits
- Train whatever the weather or time of day: a treadmill is ready in rain, in the dark and in winter.
- Two simple functions: you either walk or run, no trainer needed.
- Adjustable speed: start with calm walking and increase the speed gradually.
- Your space, your pace: you train at home, without going to a gym.
- Calorie burn: roughly 250-350 kcal per hour when walking and 500-700 kcal per hour when running (for a 70 kg person, depends on intensity).
Walk or run?
Running loads the heart and leg muscles more but also loads the joints more. Walking is gentler on the joints and suits beginners, movement after recovery and older people. If you have knee, ankle or back problems, are pregnant or have been inactive for a long time, talk to a doctor before you start.
What to consider
A treadmill needs a mains socket and enough space. The Kettler Sprinter 3 is foldable and suitable for speeds up to 12 km/h. Keep children and pets away from the moving machine.
