...floating deck! When assessing the suitability of a treadmill a component that is often overlooked is the running deck. The design and composition of the deck can often have a big effect on the overall feel and performance of the treadmill. The Yowza Biscayne features a "Floating Deck" design that rests on multi-durometer elastomer rings. This provides a soft landing surface in front with a firm surface on which to push off from at the rear. The manufacturer's stated user weight for this treadmill is 350 lbs which is sufficient to accommodate most users.
… program variety! The key to staying motivated when using a treadmill and achieving your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs, The Yowza Biscayne is equipped with the following categories of workout programs: 1. TARGET PROGRAMS: There are 3 in-built "target programs", which have Time, Speed and Distance targets that can be set to count up or down. 2.

…check your heart! The Yowza Biscayne gives you the choice of using either the built-in contact grips mounted on the handrail or the Polar Wireless chest strap (supplied) to monitor your heart rate without any attachments or wires to get in the way. It's well known that heart-rate training makes your workout more effective. This is more popularly known as working out in your "target heart-rate zone". When you stay in this zone, you can get a more effective workout in less time. As a result, you can burn fat and speed weight loss, improve your cardiovascular health and promote athletic performance. … let your heart take control!

When the "Heart Rate Control" program is selected the treadmill automatically adjusts the intensity of the workout in sympathy with the user's heart rate. The Polar wireless heart rate transmitter feeds back information about the user's pulse rate to the treadmill's computer. The computer then makes adjustments to the intensity of the workout by varying the speed or incline in sympathy with the user's heart rate so that they are always in the optimum target fitness zone.
