Did you know that the treadmill originated as a means of hard labor? While some people may still dread the sight of one, thanks to modern technology, training on a treadmill has become the best substitute for going on a walk or a run when outdoor conditions are unfavorable or you have commitments keeping you at home. Some people even prefer using a treadmill to training outdoors because it can provide a more-predictable experience. After walking and running on 37 treadmills over the past eight years, we’ve concluded that the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is a dependable, versatile machine that most runners will be pleased with. It has a large color touchscreen and a cushioned yet supportive deck. An optional subscription for onboard workout content provides an extra dose of motivation. If you’re interested in an under-desk treadmill, also known as a walking pad, see Wirecutter’s review. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has been updated annually over the past few years, and the latest version has the best deck yet. It feels stable, with just the right amount of give, so it’s easy on the knees and feet. A new touchscreen rotates 90 degrees on each side and has a crisper picture than the touchscreen on previous versions.
