Ok, now lets have a closer look!
…smooth power!
The Smooth 5.65 utilizes a smooth and powerful 2.5 HP Continuous Duty Motor which has been engineered for a long life. The motor uses a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit board more typically found on commercial treadmills which along with speed sensors ensure smooth speed changes. The makers claim that the motor operates virtually noise-free. ...walk in comfort! The 5.65 features a Im-Pression Shock Absorption Cushioning System.
This innovative technology results in walking surface that provides a soft landing for the front foot and a firm push-off for the rear foot. This reduces the risk of harmful impacts on the joints and back. This unique system allows you to workout more comfortably and for longer periods of time with less stress and strain.
…check your heart rate!
The conveniently positioned Hand Grip Pulse Monitors located on the handlebars are supplemented by the optional chest strap which provides the advantage of taking readings of your heart rate and feeding them back to the treadmill console by wireless telemetry.
…keep in step with your heart!
When this program is selected the "Heart Rate Control" feature of this treadmill automatically adjusts the intensity of your workout in accordance with your heart rate which is fed back via the grip pulse monitor or via the optional wireless telemetry strap so that you are always in the optimum target fitness zone.
...control at your fingertips! The Smooth 5.65 has toggle switches built in to the handrail to enable the user to adjust both the the speed and incline. Using these handrail mounted switches allows the user to make the necessary adjustments without having to reach forward to press buttons on the control console and possibly disrupt their stride.
… more room to run!
The Smooth 5.65 incorporates a long (60") and wide (20") wide running belt. In fact this is the same size belt as Smooth's most expensive treadmill. Other treadmills in this price sometimes have narrower or shorter belts - you will appreciate the advantages of this larger running space when you come to use the treadmill.
… check your progress! The Smooth 5.65 has a large LED Dot Matrix Display. This attractive display will show the speed, time, distance, incline, calories burned, heart rate and other workout data in an easy to read format to the treadmill user.
… great program variety!
The key to staying motivated when using a treadmill and achieving your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs. The 5.65 gives you 14 to choose from split into the following functional groups:
1 Manual Program 12 Speed / Incline Programs 1 Body Fat Program ... plug in your iPOD! In order to keep you entertained the Smooth 5.65 comes with an in built sound system. Integrated into the treadmill's console, this sound system allows you to plug your iPOD, or MP3 Player, into auxiliary input jack and listen to your music collection through the sound system. The iPOD can rest in the accessory tray so that it is within easy reach
...fold and save space!
The Smooth 5.65 is a Space Saver or Folding treadmill. This means that when you have finished your workout it can be folded into a near vertical position where it will then occupy a lot less space.
