Abstract

A treadmill includes a main body, and an angle adjusting device mounted on the main body. The main body includes a movable holding bar, and a movable support board. The angle adjusting device includes a bolt rested on the holding bar to move therewith and secured to an end of the support board to move the support board so as to adjust an inclined angle of the support board. Thus, the user only needs to hold and lift the holding bar so as to adjust the angle of the support board, thereby facilitating the user adjusting the angle of the support board.
