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. About Sole Sole brings over twenty years of treadmill and fitness product design and manufacturing to the table in their line of innovative equipment designed for fitness-conscious people. The company's treadmill line is simple in design, with an emphasis on quality and warranty all at a great price.

great treadmill! the best part is the red piece that comes out so my toddler can't turn it on! its perfect! i love the speakers and the multiple cup holders. its a great treadmill.

We're the predictable, classic case of buying a treadmill and then infrequently using it. So for what it's worth, it's been perfect for the time we've used it over the course of a few years. Solidly constructed, feels sturdy, for the most part like one of the ones at pricey health clubs. * I kinda enjoy the digital-ish display with the oval track, so you can pretend you're running laps. * The music speakers and fans are pretty weak... but probably not a selling feature for you anyway. Overall rock solid. Good times. I'll update this if the wifey has any problems with it after our baby, as it's likely to get more work after.

I purchased this from Dick's for about $100 cheaper.. So the velcro strap popped off when unpacking. It is not in a very awkward position and I have no idea how to get it down! It is quite hard trying to assemble it to see if any of the electronic options will put it back in an upright position. Anyone else had this problem? Please help!

The Sole F63 was all that I expected and more. It is smooth running, quiet, feature laden and easy to use. It also supports programmed workouts. I agree with a previous reviewer on its only drawback...handles used for pulse measurement that are very low and uncomfortable. A minor complaint that is easily bypassed by using their harness to get pulse rate. It took about 45 minutes to assemble after being moved to the basement ...which requires three strong people...this piece is very heavy ! I highly recommend the Sole F63, it is a real bargain when one looks at proice versus capability and warranty.

I purchased this treadmill back in Nov 2009 after a diagnosis of type II Diabetes. I put it together without major hassel and I am not that mechanically inclined. Having a cordless drill with allen wrench bits helped a lot. The treadmill works flawlessly. It is rather easy to transport and very easy to fold. I've lost 40 pounds by walking on it and watching what I eat. I started at over 300 pounds and am down to around 260. It may not be the quietest (or as quiet as the F8x models) but I can hear the TV that I watch while walking. My favorite program is the Interval Program (P5). It varies both speed and incline and provides a good workout. I also love the speed and incline adjustments on the arms of the treadmill. My treadmill came with a chest strap heart rate monitor and it works well (although I had to lose some weight to get it to fit properly). For under $1000 this is the best treadmill on the market!

1) Burn more calories:
Treadmills burn more calories per hour than any other exercise machine. A study by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that a vigorous workout on a treadmill burns around 700 calories, compared to 627 for stair climbers and 498 for stationary bikes.
Another study done by the Medical College of Wisconsin and the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee showed that calories burned on the treadmill for 60 minutes averaged 705 - 865, more than a stair machine, rowing machine or stationary bike.

2) Workout whenever you want:
With your own treadmill, you have the freedom to workout at any time of the day that you want. No waiting in the lines at the health club, no speeding to the gym to get in before 'the rush', no walking outside at night in the dark.

3) Wear whatever you want:
With a home treadmill you can wear whatever you want to workout. No worrying if your shorts match your T-shirt. No worrying if your shirt is too ragged or if your sweat pants are too loud.

4) Workout for as long as you want:
I don't know about you but I hate, hate, hate it when someone kicks me off the treadmill at the gym because my 'time is up'. With a home treadmill you have the freedom to go as long (or as little) as you want.

5) Get the body you've always wanted:
It's a fact: when it's convenient you'll exercise more. Which means you have the power to get the kind of body you've always wanted. Tighten those buns, tone those abs, say 'good bye' to that spare tire and 'hello' to a tiny waist with your own treadmill.

6) No more boredom:
How many times have you gone to the gym and been bored out of your mind within 10 minutes of your workout? With a home treadmill you can set it up in front of your TV and watch your favorite shows or movies.
Before you know it you'll have gone farther than you even realized - and burned more calories too. That means a better body in less time.

7) A simple way to exercise for those of us who aren't gym bunnies:
If you're not a muscle bound, 0% body fat gym bunny, a home treadmill is a simple, easy way to lose weight and stay in shape. Many people, for one reason or another, feel embarrassed by going to the gym. Consequently, they don't enjoy their gym workout and don't get the most out of it. Home treadmills are easy to use and simple to work for anyone, regardless of fitness level.

These are just a few benefits of owning your own home treadmill. Chances are you have your own reasons for wanting one.
Just remember that the seeds you sow today will be the rewards you reap tomorrow. Good luck and have fun!

Before buying a treadmill, it is best to do some research. The price of the treadmill equipment is no joke. Don’t get easily hooked by sales hype. Compare treadmill prices first and check on how useful the features are to you.
Typical treadmill prices are usually between $500-$3000. Usually the difference between these items lies on the motor power, inclination, speed, and even size. If you are planning to buy one for home use, some treadmills can even go lower.

There can be a lot of brands and models to choose from. You might want to compare treadmill models of one manufacturer or brand. Check the prices. Then check the parts. Then check the features and accessories.
Treadmills are known to be the ideal workout machine for cardio vascular exercises and weight loss. Regardless of price and other fancy features, when you compare treadmill models to buy, it must support these basic needs.

Make sure you know what you want in a treadmill. Especially if you are conscious about your budget, make sure you compare treadmill features according to the standards you want. Here are some tips for you.

- Minimum Horsepower - The treadmill’s motor is the heart of the entire equipment and is the most expensive part. To get your money’s worth start looking for treadmills at 2.0 horsepower. Anything lower than that may not be a good investment.

- The Function and Usability of the Treadmill - In fairness, all treadmills are useful. What sets the difference is the degree of use and purpose. If you’re only using it for home use, then buy the cheaper ones. But make sure you got all the functions and usability accordingly.

- Consumer Ratings and Reviews - This is a really good source to compare treadmill prices, pros and cons. The users know best. Browse through web pages and take some time to note some important recommendations from other customers.

- Compare Top-rate Brands - There are brands that may be popular but not all are expensive. In the same way as how you make comparisons with consumer reviews, do the same for different brands.

- Treadmill Add-Ons - In most treadmill marketing and sales hype, these are the items that are brought into the picture. Some of these things are essential items for your workout but not all. So compare treadmill gadgets as well as these can be expensive too.

- Size of Treadmill - Because space optimization is important, it is wise to consider how much space you have for your treadmill. With this, you will be able to decide better on which folding models to choose.

- Warranty - This is also very important. In fact, you can size up the quality of the treadmill based on the warranty offered by its manufacturer. The motor’s warranty should be at least 5 years. The frame, at least 2 years.

Make sure you visit one treadmill store after another. Do not hop in and buy the first treadmill you see immediately. There are still other things to consider such as safety, speed, and more. Compare treadmill equipment carefully like how you choose cars.

Want to be sharper at work? Feel less tired at home? Spend some quality time with your spouse? How about enjoying a cookie without guilt?
If you answered "yes" to all of these questions (and who wouldn't?), exercise is the answer.
Being physically active offers benefits far beyond the obvious. (Of course, an improved physique and a clean bill of health aren't too shabby, either.)
If you've been looking for the motivation to begin an exercise program or get back into working out regularly, here are 10 fitness facts that may help inspire you to get off the couch.
1. Exercise Boosts Brainpower
Not only does exercise improve your body, it helps your mental function, says certified trainer David Atkinson.
"Exercise increases energy levels and increases serotonin in the brain, which leads to improved mental clarity," says Atkinson, director of program development for Cooper Ventures, a division of the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas.
All that makes for a more productive day.
"It is clear that those who are active and who exercise are much more productive at work," says Todd A. Astorino, assistant professor of kinesiology at California State University-San Marcos.
Improved productivity not only makes you a better worker, it makes things better for everyone in the workplace. Companies with less wasted work hours and less sick time end up with lower health care costs -- and an improved bottom line, Astorino says.
2. Movement Melts Away Stress
As much as it may stress you out just to think about exercising, once you actually start working out, you'll experience less stress in every part of your life.
"Exercise produces a relaxation response that serves as a positive distraction," says Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. He says it also helps elevate your mood and keep depression at bay.
You're not the only person who will benefit from more happiness and less stress in your life. When you're less stressed, you're less irritable, Atkinson says -- and that could improve relationships with your partner, kids, and co-workers.
3. Exercise Gives You Energy
You might be surprised at how, say, popping in a workout tape for 30 minutes in the morning can change your whole day. When endorphins are released into your bloodstream during exercise, says Astorino, "you feel much more energized the rest of the day."
And when you improve your strength and stamina, it's easier to accomplish everyday tasks like carrying groceries and climbing stairs. This also helps you feel more energetic over the course of the day.
A common excuse among Atkinson's clients is that they're too tired to exercise, he says. While exercise may make you feel more tired at first, he says, that won't last long.
The physical tiredness you feel after working out isn't the same as everyday fatigue, he says. Besides, once your body adjusts to exercise, you'll have more energy than ever.
4. It's Not That Hard to Find Time for Fitness
The key, says Atkinson, is to use your time more wisely. Think about killing two birds with one stone.
Take your kids to the park or ride bikes together, and you're getting physical activity while enjoying family time, he says. Beyond that, go for a hike, take the kids swimming, or play hide-and-seek, tag, softball, or horseshoes in the backyard.
At work, he says, schedule a meeting on the jogging track or on the golf course.
Also, forget the idea that you have to trudge to the gym and spend an hour or more doing a formal workout. Instead, you can work short spurts of physical activity into your day.
"Everyone has 20 minutes," Atkinson says. "Everyone has 10 minutes to jump rope, and sometimes that's better than 20 minutes of walking or running."
Indeed, squeezing in two or three bouts of 15 or 20 minutes of activity is just as effective as doing it all at once, says Astorino. Vacuuming the house in the morning, riding bikes in the park with the kids in the afternoon, then taking a brisk walk in the evening can add up to an active day.
Recent U.S. government guidelines say that to lose weight and keep it weight off, you should accumulate at least 60 minutes of exercise a day, says Astorino. But half an hour a day is all you need to reap the health and disease-fighting benefits of exercise.
5. Fitness Can Help Build Relationships
Think of what exercising with a partner can do for a relationship, whether it's with a spouse, a sibling, or a friend you used to go to lunch with once a week.
Not only that, says Astorino, but exercise is always more fun when there's someone to do it with. So plan to walk with your spouse after dinner every night. Meet your sister or that friend for tennis or an aerobics class instead of lunch.
Besides, Astorino says, people who have exercise partners stay with their programs and reach their goals more often than those who try to go it alone.
"For long-term weight loss, you need to have social support," Astorino says.
6. Exercise Helps Ward Off Disease
Research has shown that exercise can slow or help prevent heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis (bone loss), and loss of muscle mass, says Astorino.
It also helps ease some aspects of the aging process.
"Because exercise strengthens the muscles and joints, it is going to reduce your odds of having some of those aches and pains and problems most adults have, mostly because of the inactive lives they lead," Bryant says.
Provided you don't overdo it, he says, exercise can even boost immune function -- so you spend less time down with a cold or flu.
"There isn't a major health problem where exercise cannot have a positive effect," says Byrant.
7. Fitness Pumps Up Your Heart
Not only does exercise help fight disease, says Bryant, it creates a stronger heart -- the most important muscle in the body. That helps makes exercise -- and the activities of daily life -- feel easier.
"Your heart and cardiovascular system will function more effectively," says Bryant. "The heart will build up less plaque. It will become a more efficient pump."
And "when the heart becomes stronger, it pumps more blood per beat, so at rest, the heart rate is lower," says Astorino. "It's not going to have to beat as fast" to expend the same amount of effort.
Within only a couple days after you start exercising, Astorino says, "the body readily adapts to the stimulus it's getting and it becomes easier. You will feel less fatigue. It will not take as much effort when it comes to breathing. You shouldn't have as much pain or soreness."
8. Exercise Lets You Eat More
Pound for pound, muscle burns more calories at rest than body fat. So the more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. And, of course, you also burn calories while you're actually exercising.
All this means that "cheating" with a cookie once in a while isn't going to take you back 10 steps. "Can you eat anything? No," says Atkinson. "But you can afford to enjoy some of the things you really like when you exercise regularly. You can better get away with those things in moderation than you can when you're not working out."
9. Exercise Boosts Performance
After a few weeks of consistent exercise, you may feel your clothes fitting differently and see that your muscle tone has improved, Atkinson says.
You may also notice your newly pumped-up muscles in other ways, especially if you're a recreational golfer or tennis player, or like a friendly game of pick-up basketball, says Atkinson. Exercising consistently will strengthen your muscles, increase flexibility, and improve your overall performance.
"Your muscles will work much more efficiently and you'll gain a greater sense of endurance," says Bryant. In addition, he says, your reaction time and balance will improve.
10. Weight Loss Is Not the Most Important Goal
Weight loss is the reason many people exercise in the first place. But it's certainly not the sole benefit of an exercise program.
Bryant says the long-term goal of weight loss is sold too heavily to people starting fitness programs, and that can be discouraging. People have trouble sticking with something if they don't see results quickly.
"Really, they should think about the level of functioning in the activities of daily living," says Bryant. "That can serve as the motivation to keep them coming back for more."
So whatever weight loss goal you have when starting a fitness program, don't make it your only goal. Strive to feel better, to have more energy, to be less stressed. Notice the small things that exercise does for you quickly, rather than getting hung up on the narrow goal of the number on a scale.
"With a goal of losing weight and enhancing health, exercise has to become a part of a person's life, not an afterthought," Astorino says.
