15 May 3G Cardio an innovator in bringing orthopedic belts to high-end treadmills
Updated 5/15/18 – The 3G Cardio Elite Runner Treadmill and Pro Runner Treadmill both feature the Ortho Flex Shock™ suspension system. These thicker, orthopedic belts help you get a great workout and there’s less wear and tear on your body than with traditional belts.
An orthopedic treadmill belt cushions the impact when the foot strikes and will reduce some of the shock.
These belts actually debuted on “cheapie” models that had subpar overall suspension systems and parts and were flimsy to run on, but the concept caught on and the idea of an orthopedic treadmill belt began to create interest among consumers and manufacturers alike.
Even if you have the best running shoes, it’s going to be hard on your feet and legs to run on concrete. Likewise, a treadmill belt that offers better cushioning is going to feel better to run on.
Although an orthopedic treadmill belt makes complete sense, manufacturers of high-end treadmills resisted including them on their machines because the heavier belts can make it tougher on the motors. The extra thickness generated more heat on the motor.
However, recent innovations now allow orthopedic treadmill belts to “breathe” and the heat to be dissipated on a high-end treadmill.
One of the few companies to finally give fitness enthusiasts the best of both worlds — an orthopedic treadmill belt on a high-end treadmill — is 3G Cardio.
