Not every day is a beautiful day that's made for a run or walk. (Although Instagram makes it look this way). Sometimes, the weather is sh*tty and can deter us from moving our bodies. But rather than counting it as an off day, wouldn't it be nice to have an at-home treadmill as a backup? Believe it or not, there are tons of under-$600 treadmills that are great for running and walking, and there are even foldable ones made for small apartments (gasp!). If you're just discovering that a treadmill can be an attainable purchase, you're not alone — it wasn't until a few months ago that I found this out for myself. There are even $100 treadmills.
If you're looking for a way to make moving your body convenient (no matter the weather), consider picking up a treadmill for your next workout. There are options for walkers, runners, and those who like a little incline — all for prices that are hard to beat. Check out our top picks ahead and make your next workout a fit for you.

A Bluetooth Treadmill: Two in One Folding Treadmill
Not only is the Two in One Folding Treadmill ($320, originally $560) compact enough for a small space, but it can also be hooked up through Bluetooth to play music as you walk or run.
