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.
Many treadmills 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 features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting cardiovascular benefits without requiring a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

This is for people who live in an apartment. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment. This machine is really loud, I have had neighbors complain twice already. This machine is not well secure when you move it and believe this thing weights 250lbs! Other then that it’s a good machine to jog and walk on.

You had better have multiple tools and your muscles ready to put this together. Four of the predrilled holes were not aligned properly and one did not fit the bolt at all. I had to find another bolt from my toolbox to fit. Also the allen wrench they provided was useless since you had to use so much force to put the bolts in. I have given 3 stars simple because I may like it better once I get over the nightmare of construction, otherwise it would be zero stars.

My husband and I got this at Christmas as our gift to each other and while I’m embarrassed to say that we don’t use it as often as we had hoped to we still really like it. I’m 5’8 and around 140 lbs and found it easy to use and that it supports me well. My husband is 6’1 so in our low ceiling basement he’s pretty close to the top while running on it, its also very noisy especially when you have a 230 lbs man running on it. The noise is my only con with it, otherwise its a great treadmill for the price.

I never received the item. It was sent to me by a carrier called CEVA and those guys never arrived with my item. I need to say that I live 50 Miles from a Medium size city, and these guys were expecting to consolidate more load in order to be cost effective for them. Not surprisingly (unless waiting for several more months), that consolidation never happened and therefore the item never arrived. After 30 days of the order being placed (and the item not arriving) I decided to cancel. Fair enough for CEVA, since they processed the return quite fast and got my refund in less than a week. Can’t evaluate the product, but the logistics on large items with this carrier is pretty pathetic. This is the first time I have this type of issues with Amazon, and this will not hinder my appetite to buy from them again; I’ll just look for smaller items that fit on the regular mail.
