Each model is recommended for different user weights. If you are heavier than the rated weight of the treadmill,
you may experience shaking and instability which tend to tire you out sooner.
Although Horizon treadmills are low-budget-prized the design does not look like one. In fact its excellent
design looks good in any home. It must be emphasized however, that no matter how good the reviews are, no matter
how good they look, these budget treadmills are not for serious runners.
Any exercise equipment is an investment in terms of money value and health needs and is only as good as how you
use it. The more weight you put on a treadmill, the harder the motor works, which can lead to repair problems
beyond ordinary wear and tear. You need to use it effectively and properly to attain your purpose in getting
one.
