We all are extremely busy. Most of us don’t have time to waste doing steady-state cardio for hours and hours a week. There is no better way to shred fat on the treadmill than sprinting. Not only will you burn more calories, you will also shorten the length of your cardio giving you your time back.

Budget Pick: Sunny Health & Fitness SF-T7515 

To check out this treadmill on Amazon, click here.

Sunny Health & Fitness hasn’t failed to provide quality budget-options for those who can’t spend on a premium treadmill. With 12 built-in workouts, a heart rate monitor, and some other key features, this treadmill caters to both walkers and sprinters.  

It offers an incline level up to 12%, which is great given the price point. This treadmill can easily be folded away when it’s not in use, or you can use the transport wheels to transfer it to storage space. 

Some bonus features include Bluetooth connectivity and speakers to help you stay active and connected to your smart devices. 

A slight negative is that it only has a maximum speed of 8 mph which is suitable for beginner sprinters but not athletes. This, coupled with the low horsepower, doesn’t allow you to sprint if you are an advanced runner on this machine. The maximum weight capacity is only 250 lbs. 

The frame has a 3-year warranty with 90-day coverage for parts. 

Pros 

• Compact and foldable 
• High incline range

A plus point is that this foldable treadmill has a Safety Mode which automatically stops the belt in case you lose your balance.
