Let’s explore some of the features and specifications:
… drive motor
This model utilizes a powerful 1.75 HP Continuous Motor. With more power than a regular drive system, the motor allows you to exercise for longer periods of time while maintaining smooth, consistent operation.
… rock solid feel
Because of their light weight, discount treadmills often rock and sway during brisk walks or runs. With the heavy weight of this model, safety and stability are assured.
… tread belt
The model incorporates a 20″ wide running belt. Other treadmills at this price point usually have narrower belts – you will appreciate the advantages of this larger running space when you come to use the treadmill.
… shock absorption
Walking and running are the most natural and enjoyable forms of exercising you can engage in, but the continual pounding can take a toll on your joints. Running on some ‘mills can feel like running on concrete.
This model comes to the rescue here with its patented Strike Zone deck suspension system. This will reduce harmful impact on your ankles, knees, hips, and back and ensure that you enjoy the same silky smooth performance gym quality machines.
Some recent research has shown that as your front foot gets a soft landing while launching your rear foot with a firm push-off. Pressure is relieved on the lower back, muscles, and tendons.
… heart rate monitor
A Hand Grip Pulse Monitor is used to keep track of your heart rate. Conveniently positioned at the front of the console, your hand grip pulse monitor is more comfortable to use.

The key to staying motivated while trying to achieve your fitness goals is having a variety of preset programs. This model gives you six to choose from. These include Manual, Cardio, Running, Fat Burn, Speed Interval Jogger, and Hill intervals.
