Not only do incline workouts burn a load more calories, but they also target a different set of muscles, especially useful if you want to tone your butt, calves, and hamstrings. The Maxkare is one of the best machines out there in this price range for power walking and jogging. It hasn’t been built for serious runners, and the size of the running belt reflects this at just 16″ W and 46″ L. One thing you’ll notice right from the start is how quiet the machine is.
The treadmill comes with two cup holders that could be used for keeping water handy for hydration and for keeping other items such as keys, remote control, and more. The incline system is at both sides of the deck and can easily be adjusted to change the intensity of the workout so that more calories could be burned and more muscles toned.

All in all, it’s another great choice if you’re looking for a foldable, affordable treadmill.
Honestly, I’m not sure about the claimed support of 220 pounds of weight. If you’re over 200 pounds, then I personally suggest going with another model with a higher weight support. It shouldn’t take more than an hour to put together by one person – although it never hurts to have buddy close by to help you out. The controls allow you to adjust the incline automatically from 0 to 12%.
