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.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them 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 simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Get back into shape using bowflex treadmill series 5!,
By Debbie (Rural Nebraska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bowflex Series 5 Treadmill (Sports)
We live in the country on the great plains. Keeping in shape during
the spring and summer is easy, but when the cold winds and snow start to blow across the prairie, it is impossible to walk the 2 to 3 miles that I do during the warmer season. I've wanted a treadmill for years, I've tried cheaper brands that didn't work or broke after a few months. This is the absolutely best product that I've ever walked on. I've only had it about 2 weeks, but have already lost several pounds and my jeans are getting looser, so I know the inches are coming off. The features that this machine has is superb! A fan to cool you off, two places for water or gatorade. For an intense workout, set the incline higher. I do want to mention, that this is a huge machine, it is not for a small space, even though it is possible to fold-up the deck, it is very, very heavy, so it will be great to clean under, but not to store away between uses, as it weighs almost 300 pds. We also have a bowflex weight machine and now have turned a small spare bedroom into a workout room, next we are planning to put a flat-screen tv in there, so that will be an incentive to not be a couch potatoes and to workout and watch our favorite shows and movies, and get into shape during the long cold winter. If you do choose to order this product, and choose free shipping, it will take 3 to 4 weeks to get the machine. But it will save you around $200 for the free shipping and well worth the wait.

Good quality but...........,
This review is from: Bowflex Series 5 Treadmill (Sports)
Well built machine. Sturdy, powerful, quiet. However, we have had issues with the incline. When adjusting the incline sometimes the whole unit just shuts down. We have contacted bowflex to inform them of this problem. They have yet to get back to us...

Product Defective.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bowflex Series 5 Treadmill (Sports)
As was the case in the other reviews (reviews for the other bowflex treadmills), the shippers would only unload the box into the garage. I expected this after reading the other reviews, so this was not a big problem. I found a moving company who would move it to the bedroom for $95. The console was rather difficult to put on with only one person. I finally recruited someone to help me hold it up while I connected the cords and got it into place. Overall, set up was fairly easy. The first problem I found is that the plastic film that goes over the console parts seemed to have melted onto the console. While I did manage to get the plastic off, there is a sticky residue left. The next problem I encountered, after calibration, is that there seems to be a bump or wobble in the treadmill itself. It's not too bothersome to walk on, but it worries me there may be a bigger underlying problem. The final problem is that when I turned on the fan, it started making a very loud rattling sound. The fan doesn't work at all. It sounds like a piece may be broken off inside. It makes a sound like a garbage disposal makes when you turn it on. I've contacted Amazon customer service about the problem. I'll update my review once I see how the resolution plays out. For now, I can't rate this product well because it is filled with defects. Because most of the other reviews have been so positive about this product, I think I must have just received a lemon.
