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 Great value, well made, June 10, 2007

This review is from: LifeSpan Fitness Pro3 Treadmill (Sports)

After searching both online and through local stores, I found this treadmill to be the only one in it's price range with a 22 inch wide (by 60 inches long) running surface, not to mention the 3 HP motor. I was also happy with the lifetime warranty on the motor and deck.

The only cons to this treadmill are that it doesn't fold up and it is extremely heavy. I have read, however, that treadmills that fold up tend to be less stable than those that do not so this may be an advantage. As far as the weight, this also adds to stability once you have it in place.

The manufacturer did not include an instruction manual, which was a mistake, but I was able to find it as well as their contact info online. Their customer service representative was both helpful and courteous.

The treadmill was fairly simple to assemble. It appears to be a well made machine and I am pleased with my purchase.

This review is from: LifeSpan Fitness Pro3 Treadmill (Sports)

Me and my wife log 35-50 miles per week on our treadmill. We have plenty of room for the treadmill so we were not in need of a folding treadmill. We are both runners and joggers and wanted to be sure that we got a treadmill that was going to keep up with us. After researching online we went with the advice from Treadmill Doctor and glad that we did with this treadmill. The 22" wide running surface was one of the biggest reasons we bought this as we have the treadmill set up in front of the TV and it is nice to be able to run and have the room "to roam" without worrying about stepping on the sides of the treadmill. Also, I don't know if this is a preference and up to each individual but both my wife and I have noticed that on longer runs we feel less joint pain. Our previous treadmill that we had for almost 7 years had a lot of cushion and on longer runs would feel some knee and lower back pain, which we do not experience out on the road or to date on this treadmill. The treadmill is very quiet even at the higher speeds, it does go to 12 mph but we never go above 8 mph...but I guess it is there if you are doing interval training. The console is laid out very clearly as well as it has a large blue matrix that tracks your progress and then it has 3 red windows below that just tell you the important information. I have my own chest strap that I wear with my Polar watch and the treadmill picks that up and I took the chest strap that comes with the treadmill. Believe you me the treadmill is VERY heavy. Be sure to have helpers and or a hand truck! Surprisingly, though the treadmill is very easy to assemble. The handlebars and the console is already attached. You just have to lift them up and tighten the bolts. The only thing that you have to physically attach is the covers for the handlebar and the water bottle holders. It took us 20-30 minutes to assemble. I would strongly recommend this treadmill for anyone looking to log some serious miles for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lifespan Pro 3 treadmill, February 22, 2008

This review is from: LifeSpan Fitness Pro3 Treadmill (Sports)

After looking extensively on the internet at different treadmills, I purchased the Pro 3 (2008 model) for 1,633. It is a great treadmill with plenty of room to run. Compare it to the Pro 1 and they are similar. The Pro 3 has these added features. Aluminum side rails and an ortho belt that is 2 inches wider than the Pro 1, it also is more stable because it does not fold. The Pro 3, in my opinion, is the best option out there for under 2,000. It has a lifetime motor and frame warranty. 5 year parts warranty and 2 year labor warranty if used in the home. Look at other treadmills with this type of warranty and you will be paying 3,000 or better for them. The machine is very solid and is excellent for runners. If you can find one for the price that I gave for mine it is hands down the best deal on the market for under 2,000 grand.
