Non-Folding v. Folding Treadmill Specs & Suspension with Shock Absorbing Running Decks on Treadmills
A friend of mine asked me today what the best kind of running surface is and how treadmills compare to other running surfaces such as grass, concrete, rubberized tracks and a couple of other running surfaces. The easy and 100% correct answer is that grass is the best and it is not even close. Other running surfaces such as concrete are really rough on joints and bones to the point where running can actually become detrimental towards your health, rather than beneficial. The easiest option is to get a treadmill that has a great suspension system and a shock absorbing running belt. With an advanced suspension system and an extra-thick, orthopedic style running belt, a treadmill can be the next best thing to run on for your body, other than natural grass.
The Life Fitness 95Ti treadmill, is part of a series of heavy-duty, hi-performance, gym quality, commercial-grade treadmills, that are built to last a lifetime, and please the most hi-maintenance of athletes. Some of the features on the Life Fitness 95Ti treadmill include its 4.0 continuous horsepower motor, 28 exercise programs, a built in reading rack, built in water bottle holder, extra-wide and long 20” x 60” commercial size treadmill running belt, 3.5” precision crowned steel rollers, a power incline of up to 15%, and a speed range of 0.5 to 14mph!
In addition to all of these awesome features, another feature of the Life Fitness 95Ti that it is a non-folding treadmill. Historically, non-folding treadmills have always been more durable than folding treadmills. For example, you will never find a folding treadmill at a commercial workout facility. One-hundred percent of commercial health clubs in the United States use non-folding treadmills. The immediate benefit of non-folding treadmills is that they have higher mechanical capacities than folding treadmills have. For those of you who do not know what a “mechanical capacity” is referring to, saying so and so treadmill has a 500 pound mechanical capacity is the same thing as saying that treadmill has a 500 pound user weight limit. Along with non-folding treadmills being more durable than folding units, and having higher user weight limits, non-folding treadmills are normally a whole lot heavier than folding treadmills. The heavier the treadmill is, the less likely it will be flimsy, and heavier treadmills last longer too.

Speaking of “Sports Equipment”, I was recently involved in an argument with a group of friends over which sport was more dangerous, Rugby or Football? I personally believe, and basically know for a fact, that American Football is much tougher on the body and causes more injuries than Rugby. Those sports fanatics that argue the other side, base their flawed argument on the fact that SPORTS EQUIPMENT is used in American Football and their is no SPORTS EQUIPMENT in Rugby! W A T ?????? That arguement makes zero sense.
The arguement that Rugby is more dangerous because they do not use sports equipment such as football helmets, shoulder pads and so on, is wrong for several reasons. First of all the flow of the game itself, American football that is, is sooooooo much faster than Rugby. The speed difference is extrememly relevant because when players move faster in Sports, whether or not they are using sports equipemnt, they are prone to more injury than if they were moving at slower speeds. For Example, if two cars collide and they are each moving at 10 miles and hour, there will not be nearly as much of an impact as there would be if they were moving at 50 miles per hour. For those of you who do not think the speed differential between American Football players and Rugby players is equal to that of the example mentioned above, then you are right. The speed difference is much greater! Football players are that much faster than rugby players that whether or not they are wearing sports equipment or not is irrelevant.
