The “Full Surface Suspension” (FS2) cushioning system employed on this treadmill  helps to reduce the impact on your joints and delivers a more comfortable running surface.

Speed adjustment

The treadmill comes equipped with “QuickSpeed” control. This means that you can easily jump to any speed within the range 0 to 12 MPH with one touch at any time during your workout. You can decrease your speed immediately when you are tired and need a break, or increase it instantly for a challenging burst.

Incline adjustment

The treadmill is also equipped with “Quick Incline” control. This allows you to electronically change the degree of slope up or down throughout your workout from the control panel. The slope of the incline can be adjusted within the range 0 to15 deg. You can simulate running uphill and add both challenge and variety to your exercise session.

Incline AND decline

In addition to the 15% of positive inclination that can be adjusted by a simple “Quick control” system the deck is also able to decline to – 3%. This feature is usually only found on more expensive treadmills and has the benefit of activating different muscles by walking at a decline. This is claimed to burn more calories than walking on a flat surface and stimulate more muscle for faster results.
