About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

5Does a basic job splendidlyApr 30, 2008
I've been using this each day for a week now, and unless something goes horribly wrong (in which case, I'll update the review), it is an excellent product for a simple, straightforward workout. I only use this for walking, not jogging/running, and at the moment, only for half an hour a day, so I can't comment on how it works for more intense treatment. Contrary to some of the reviews, I didn't find it difficult to assemble. I'm a not-very-fit woman under 5ft tall, and I put it together myself in about 1 1/2 hours (some advice for all self-assembly stuff - don't tighten all the screws as you go along. Some 'out of alignment' problems can be caused by fully tightening one section too soon). The width and length seem reasonable (a 5ft6 friend had no problems striding out on it, and running on it), it has several pre-set programs to assist in weight loss and muscle tone if you want to use them, and a good range of speeds and incline levels and clear displays on the monitor. I think the heart-rate indicator is probably inaccurate, but I'm not bothered about that. I just want a relatively cheap, reliable, basic product to help me get a bit fitter, and this model fits that bill splendidly.

5Good MachineApr 11, 2008
This machine, treadmill is perfect for me and my home. It folds up so I can put it away, it has several workout programs and has several areas to place items needed for a workout such as waterbottle or cd player . Im satisfied with it very much. Good price also.

5Great item for the priceApr 08, 2008
This product is great! It was a great price and shipped quickly. My husband put it together within 15 mins with his own tools, a few adjustments and you are on your way..

2DisappointedFeb 28, 2008
There is nothing in the manual that indicates there is an incline adjustment which is located in the back. The heart monitor doesn't seem to work all the time and there is a trick to where you place your finger which is over the heart shape versus the round circle. Finally the treadmill speeds up uncontrollably and after a while may shut off. They are sending me new control boards and heart monitor to see if that fixes the problem. Their tech will come over and install the parts.
They installed new control boards and it still had problems. I was impressed that they offered to replace the treadmill without me asking. Good customer service.

4Great for price and what it is...Feb 28, 2008
I knew buying this treadmill, I was not going to get a top quality "Nordic" or "Bowflex." I needed an affordable, basic treadmill and this is perfect. My boyfriend assembled it by himself the evening it arrived. The price is right, and free shipping (and still quick noneless) can't be beat. The running track is on the small side, and I wouldn't suggest this model for someone on the larger side. I am 5'4" and 140lbs and I was nervous about falling off or stepping on the sides. Overall, good buy!
