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.

Customer Reviews

Works great!
I bought this treadmill not knowing if I was making the right choice but I am very very happy with it so far. I have been using the weight loss program for a month every day and it gives me a great workout in 30 minutes. I love that I don't have to leave my home to go get my excerise. I had to put it on the second floor of my home which was a challenge but my husband and I got it moved with a little grunting. Once it was up there I have no probelm moving it around and it is very compact. Now I just hope it lasts me with no problems as I plan on using it daily. It could be interesting to get it repired if I need to. Any advice if future repairs are needed?

Great fold up treadmill
I specifically wanted a fold up unit so if I need the space where this is, it could be made. To be able to pull this out of the box, plug it in and go was a real treat! It is better than I expected.

Almost perfect
The treadmill is very good, sturdy, easy to operate. As it comes already assembled, you can use it right out of the box. One thing that is not up to the other qualities of the item is the thumb heart beat sensor. If you need to monitor your heart beat during exercise, buy a separate monitor, for the one in the treadmill is almost useless. The other not so good thing is the amplifier. It should be better grounded, to prevent damage to your player when you touch it during exercise. In the winter time, static electricity builds up while you use the treadmill, and the eventual discharge may damage your player. My iPod had to be re-booted for it froze after a static discharge. Summing up, the Evolve treadmill deserves 4 stars.
