A treadmill includes an external frame, an internal frame connected to the
external frame, a belt in the form of a loop supported on the internal
frame and a buffering apparatus for buffering the internal frame. The
buffering apparatus includes a crossbar and two buffer sets. The crossbar
is rotationally provided on the external frame between various positions.
Each of the buffer sets includes a plurality of buffering blocks made
with different elastic coefficients so that a selected one of the
buffering blocks is brought into contact with the internal frame when the
crossbar is in a related one of the positions.
