Check out this blog post by Amby Burfoot (Editor at large for Runner’s World Magazine) http://footloose.runnersworld.com/ After winning the 1968 Boston Marathon he has continued to run for over 40 years! But some of us are not as fortunate to have survived the injury bug. Running outdoors on asphalt is OK for those thin guys who don’t have enough body-weight to inject heavy trauma onto their joints, but many people need to make the switch to a soft shock-absorbing treadmill.
That’s why our engineers at Yowza Fitness have spent years studying impact and knee sheer and designing better and better shock absorption systems with each new generation of treadmill we build. Our current line-up of treadmills features the best-selling Keewadin folding treadmill which utilizes the patented swing arm impact absorption system. Swing arm absorbs impact in the front of the belt where your foot lands on the deck but allows for a firm and stable surface in the rear of the belt to push off of.
