Running is one of the best cardiovascular workouts in all of fitness. In the mid 1990’s, The popularity of treadmills increased dramatically and they have become a staple of fitness equipment today. But where did treadmills come from? What makes them so popular?
The first recorded instance of treadmills being used was to harness power for the operation of treadwheels. The power was needed for the treadwheels to grind grain. However, people were not the ones that used these treadmills. Rather than using people power, treadmills harnessed the power of animals to make treadwheels turn. Horses, goats, and even dogs were all animals used for treadmills.
In the 19th century, treadmills evolved into a tool used by British prisoners. The prisoners would line up on a wide treadmill and use manpower to provide the power needed for things like grinding corn, pumping water, churning butter, or any other basic function that a treadmill could be used for.
During the 1960’s William Staub created the first modernized treadmill. His design revolutionized treadmills and made them available for anyone to have. By creating treadmills at an affordable price, they became a staple for fitness centers as well as home gyms.
Nowadays, treadmills have advanced and incorporated modern technology into them. Smartphone compatibility, large lcd touch displays, and internet capabilities are just some of the many features modern treadmills offer. But with all these advanced features, the cost of treadmills has certainly not decreased.
