What is the difference between a normal treadmill and a curved FreeRun treadmill?Updated 18 days ago

Lifespan curved treadmills provide greater control and freedom than standard motorised treadmills. Because the belt is powered by your movement, you can naturally increase or decrease your speed without adjusting controls or trying to keep pace with a motor. Their non-motorised design also reduces electricity usage and operating costs.

The curved running surface creates a more challenging workout and may help you burn up to 30% more calories compared with a standard treadmill. It is ideal for high-intensity interval training, allowing you to transition quickly between walking, jogging and sprinting without changing programs or speed settings.

Curved treadmills may also support rehabilitation, running-form development and posterior-chain muscle activation. Their self-powered design allows users to move at a comfortable, controlled pace while rebuilding confidence after an injury.
