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.

4 out of 5 stars merit treadmill   September 12, 2008
I am loving this machine. However, I am a single, not very adept at mechanics woman, and if not for a male friend who offered to help, I would have had to pay someone to put it together.


5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Value   September 3, 2008
I've owned this treadmill for a few months and absolutely love it! This is an exceptional value for the price. I would recommend this to any of my friends.


3 out of 5 stars Bent, Screwy but It Works   August 4, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

As I was putting it together I noticed there is a sizeable bend on the support bar upward between two wheels at the rear of the treadmill. It impacts the belt. Makes a noise. Also a few of the holes dont line up so I cant screw everything that should be in in. So far it turns on and seems to work however I have not used it to its fullest extent yet. This is why I rated it only 3 stars.


4 out of 5 stars Good deal for the price....   June 16, 2008
Fairly easy to put together....it has a magnetic safety clip that is not explained really well in the manual. Basically, it is a good feature because the machine will not operate unless you have the magnetic clip attached to the machine...thus preventing kids from being able to simply click the START button. In the same token, don't lose this clip or you cannot operate the machine. Also, please NOTE the ON button is hidden underneath the bottom front of the machine. Before you purchase, be sure to check that you have the right "power supply" for the machine so that you don't damage the machine or knock out your electricity in your home. Everytime you change "gears" (such as speed, program or turning the machine on or off, there is a really loud "beep"...so don't expect the baby to stay asleep while you work out....other than the above and in general we are happy with our purchase!


4 out of 5 stars The good, and the bad   May 11, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

When i got the product the panel was cracked. I called customer service thinking that i was gonna be on hold forever based on other reviews, however, i was on hold for like 5-15 mins. So that was good. The lady on the phone was also very good.

The bad thing is that i only got the piece that was broken as a replacement, not the whole panel. It took me about an hour, or so to unscrew everything (including the circuits, and cables) and to put everything back.

I didint know that it had a switch (on/off) so whe i turned it on, it wasnt working. But that was my fault.

It is running good, but i only tried it once.
