Why bother driving all the way to the gym while you can enjoy a
satisfying cardio session at the comfort of your own home?
We have had the opportunity to give the BH T200 Treadmill a test
run (pun intended) over the past weeks and I am now a total convert. Now I am
totally convinced that driving to the gym for a
30 mins run is not necessary while you can own a compact treadmill for
less than the price of a year's worth of gym subscription fee. Not to mention,
it also saves you from the hassle of looking for a parking space, getting
caught in rush hour traffic, competing for your turn to use the machine etc.
BH T200 Treadmill which comes
together with Floor Protection Mat
This semi plug and run model is the latest addition that adorned
my living room.
Not only is it compact, this semi plug and run model is also
really easy to use and store as it does not require any assembly! Give it a
quick lift to spare space or gently press the foot pedal cylinder to unfold the
machine! In as little as 90 seconds, you're all ready to burn some fats while
catching up on your favourite drama! If you're concerned about the safety issues
pertaining the folding and unfolding of the machine, it adopts a soft drop
system. There's no need to worry about it damaging the floor or cases of back
injury.
Whilst being absolutely compact, the BHT200 has the widest stand
posts amongst the other treadmills of the same class! The arc shape also
enhances stability to the machines as well as aesthetic feature to the machine!
If you're concerned about the staggering electricity bill that
comes with owning a treadmill, the BHT200 is built in accordance to the EU's
green efficiency regulation. From the brush, to the bearing and steel axle,
every component of the treadmill is designed to work harmoniously in power
saving manner without compromising efficiency.
For beginners, this machine also comes with 6 pre-set workout
programs with a maximum speed of 16km/h. Just in case you like experimenting
with different settings, you don't have to fumble with all the complicated keys
on the console as there are colour-coded quick key controls to get you from the
lowest and highest setting in just one click!
Here are some of the features that I adore about the BHT200:
BH Multi Cushion
People who have experienced knee dislocation, or just any knee
related issue (aka both of us) will try to stay away from treadmill as much as
we could because we couldn't stand the impact it causes onto our knees. The
compact BHT200 which is equipped with BH Multi Cushion and shock absorbers
absorbs the impact and shock for our poor knees. Frequent treadmill user will
get me on this, you won't feel like a heavy elephant stomping the world on this
treadmill, if anything, it feels slightly 'bouncy' in a good way and I could
feel it's less taxing on my knees.
The MP3 & Dual
Speakers
Cardio is Hellish without music, admit it. I love listening to
music at the gym, but then again, I hate having to take care of my earphone
(both wired and wireless). BH T200 took care of this problem for you as you can
blast the music through the built-in dual speaker which is also compatible with
MP3 player through a line-in connection. Other than just listening to music,
answering phone calls is also possible with this audio system! How convenient!
Fingertip Controls
Keep everything in control within finger's reach. This feature
allows for convenient adjustment of running speed and inclination without
breaking your stride. This is ideal for someone like me who loves interval
training. Changing the speed or the incline during different segments of the
run actually burns more calories than say just jog at a fixed setting.
Contact Pulse Measurement
System
I like monitoring my heart rate to know if I am actually working
hard enough of it have subconsciously cut myself some slack. This strategic
placement of the pulse sensor at the arm bar allows ergonomic measurement of
pulse while you're on the run.
Enhanced safety features
Bid farewell to those days where you slip off the treadmill, both
sides of the BHT200 are equipped with safety mats to increase friction that
grips your feet. There’s also an emergency stop pull tag which you should clip
to your clothes when you’re working out. Pulling the tag out of its position
brings the machine to a halt; this will be handy in cases of slip or fall.
Despite all the good things I have to say about the BHT200, here
are some of the things to consider:
1. This
treadmill can only support a maximum weight of 115kg, given its compact size.
That said, we noticed that anyone with the weight of 80kgs and above might find
that the belt is slightly tugged while you're running.
2. Although
it does have a smooth and noise-free inclination, the inclination is not as
high as I would personally have preferred. I love being able to work on a
bigger area of the lower body (I.e hips and thigh) and not just the calf.
Though this machine is fairly great at switching up your mundane cardio , I was
expecting more from the inclination. But I do
know that they have just added an Incline Trainer to their collection, that may
work better for anyone who’s keen in working your gluts and thigh may take a
look at it at https://bit.ly/2Ko3oUO
But overall, as an active couple, we still think having a compact
treadmill at home is excellent for making up those days where we have no time
to hit the gym and get some sweat dripping.
