Enjoy an invigorating cardio workout in the comfort of your den or finished basement with the ProForm Crosswalk 425 treadmill. The Crosswalk 425 boasts a 1.3-horsepower continuous-duty Mach Drive motor that's engineered to maintain its strength for long-term use. The blue-tinted LCD display, meanwhile, tracks your time, speed, distance, pulse, and calories burned, giving you easy access to your workout feedback. Perhaps the most intriguing feature, however, is the Crosswalk 425's pair of upper-body arms. Similar to the arms on an elliptical trainer, the built-in arms help you improve your total-body conditioning by letting you integrate upper-body exercises into a traditional cardio workout. The exercise arms are perfect for people who want to tone and sculpt a bit while also burning even more calories.
The Crosswalk 425 also includes a QuickSpeed control that lets you change your running speed--within a range of zero to 10 miles per hour--with the touch of a single button. And as with any good treadmill, the Crosswalk 425 is easy on the joints thanks to the ProSoft Plus cushioning system. Other features include EKG heart rate grips built into the handlebars; a water bottle holder; a 17-by-50-inch running surface; an incline range of zero to 10 percent; and a 250-pound weight capacity.
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.
The ProForm CrossWalk 425 Treadmill has a 1.3 CHP Mach Drive Motor, which is engineered to maintain its strength for long-term use and perfect for light or intense workouts. Get an accurate heart rate reading by simply placing your thumb on the EKG sensor that is built right into the console, which features a blue-tinted LCD display that tracks your time, speed, distance, pulse and calories burned.
