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.

3 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for   May 21, 2008
Pros-
$$$ the price!
Assembly was a breeze.
Quiet while in use.
Convenient fold away option.

Cons-
The belt was off center and needed a LOT of adjustments to finally align it properly. (It took two people, many, many, many hours of readjusting...and a few meltdowns, before we got it right.)
Heart rate monitor is faulty.

Overall impression -
You are getting what you pay for,and if looking for a good, cheap treadmill that can be delivered to your place within the price, then this treadmill may be for you.



5 out of 5 stars Does a basic job splendidly   April 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.


5 out of 5 stars Good Machine   April 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.


5 out of 5 stars Great item for the price   April 8, 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..


2 out of 5 stars Disappointed   February 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.
