Kettler Arena
The Kettler Arena is ideal if you’re recovering from a sports injury or embarking on a new fitness regime. It’s also great if you have not worked out for a long time and are easing your way back into it.
What’s key here is the lowest speed available, rather than the highest.
This treadmill can be set to just 0.3km/h, which the maker says is the lowest starting speed on the market.
