A common complaint from treadmill owners is the difficulty of adjusting the speed while running. It generally requires you to reach forward while in motion and press a button on the console, which is not only awkward but also somewhat dangerous, as you have to visually focus on the board rather than your feet. Now Phoenix Health & Fitness provides an alternative with its patented Motion Control system, which lets you control the speed of your treadmill without ever touching the machine. The process is simple: waving your hand over the right sensor causes the treadmill to speed up, while waving your hand over the left sensor causes it to slow down. To increase the speed in larger increments, just hold your hand over the right sensor continuously. And should you need to stop suddenly, simply place one hand over each sensor at the same time. Once you master the system, you can safely and efficiently adjust the speed by any increment at any time. The Easy-Up treadmill is also equipped with a powerful 2.5-horsepower continuous-duty DC motor with a PWM control system, along with a large 52-by-20-inch walking surface that's cushioned to provide a minimum impact on your joints. The four LED windows, meanwhile, make it easy to track such workout details as your time, distance, incline, number of laps, pulse, and calories burned. And Phoenix added three speed programs with 20-, 40-, and 60-minute durations, along with programmable heart rate, time, and distance programs. Other details include a speed range of 0 to 10 miles per hour, a heavy-duty steel frame that holds up to heavy use, and a power folding mechanism that makes storage easier. The Easy-Up treadmill measures 67 by 46.5 by 36 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

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.
