How to Fold a Non-Motorized Treadmill
Non-motorized treadmills are sustainable pieces of exercise equipment that take up very little space, are easy to use, and offer the same exercise benefits as motorized treadmills. TreadmillTalk also points out that manual treadmills not only save money over the long run, but also cost less to begin with, making them the obvious choice for thrifty exercisers. One thing that most non-motorized treadmill owners may wonder about is how to fold their treadmill to save even more space. Luckily, this is an exceedingly simple process that anyone can accomplish.

Tips & Warnings
If you will be storing your treadmill in the folded position, it is safest to lay it down and slide it beneath something, like a bed. This will avoid the possibility of the treadmill tipping over and falling on someone or something.
