Which is better in terms of results..or do u prefer a manual treadmill or powered ??
Answers: powered is better, because you kinda dont set your own pace and it forces you to keep up with the speed, increasing the intensity of your work-out, with the manual you set your own pace so the body tends to slack a bit
My manual treadmill seems to tax me more - feels like I'm getting a more vigorous workout. Running on it is difficult, however - since you have to hold onto the handles in order to move the belt, it's like trying to run holding a loaded wheelbarrow. I switch to my powered treadmill if I want to run - IF I can get my dobie off of it - she likes to trot along on the powered unit while I'm on the manual one. Like father, like daughter, I guess ;).
Note: manual units can be tough on your joints because of the forces involved.
manual, its more work for ur workout
I prefer powered. I like the different programs, inclines, heart monitor, and all other cool features.
