The ProForm 680 Trainer treadmill has features that both the novice and the advanced will love.  Many treadmills can work well for the new user but once they work out for a year or so, they grow out of their treadmill. However, with the ProForm 680 Trainer treadmill has both a 0-10 MPH quick speed control and a 0-10% quick incline control.       

Being able to adjust your speed and incline easily will allow your treadmill to grow with you.  As your body gets used to a level surface and a slower pace you will begin to adjust the incline higher and the pace faster.  This give you the control to work your body harder as it gets more fit.

By adjusting the incline you will find yourself burning more calories per workout and you’ll arrive at your fitness golas quicker than if you kept your treadmill use at a level surface.

Being able to change the speed and incline easily is just one reason why the ProForm 680 trainer treadmill helps you towards your fat loss goals. The ProForm 680 Trainer treadmill also has 10 certified trainer programs,  a strong Mach Z 2.8 hp motor ( with 20 year warranty) and a quiet treadbelt with treadsoft Max cushioning.

If you like to workout to music (and who doesn’t) you’ll be glad to know that the ProForm 680 Intermix Acoustics 2.0 Sound system for superb sound quality.  The sound system with its built-in,  compatible music port for iPod, allowing you to listen to all your favorite music during your workout.

The ProForm 680 Trainer treadmill also has a 300 pound weight capacity, easy to read display and a workout intensity control to give you more control over your workouts.

By just making a few simple changes to your workouts you can not only look forward to working out but you will reach your fitness goals quicker and feel better about it.

Are you tired of the same old 12 reps, 10 squats, and 20 minutes on your treadmill or elliptical trainer? I was.

There is a way to make exercise less boring and it’s so simple to do!

If you’re sick of walking on a flat surface on your treadmill, there are many ways to liven up that work out.

Putting on an hour-long TV show that you have to get involved in is a great way to make your mind wander.

While watching your show, set your pace at a very light jog.  When a commercial comes on, pick up your pace then slow back down when the show returns.

Another way to make exercise less boring is to add other things to make it exciting.  Add people or music.  Set your iPod to shuffle and get moving.  Create various exercise playlists and then don’t stop until the music does.

Adding people to your workout is another way to make exercise less boring. Generally,  people have 5 times more chance of taking the initiative to even go to the gym when they’re with a friend – and are ten times more likely to continue going to the gym when they have a partner to help motivate them.

Rewarding yourself when you do a good job at the gym is a key element of making exercise less boring.  Don’t get too excited – this doesn’t mean you can have a whole box of Twinkies or Ding Dongs.

This means that after a long and strenuous workout, you can treat yourself to a massage at a spa or a new outfit to suit that trimmer, healthier figure you’re now sporting.

We all know how effective elliptical machines are now add to that the ability for your elliptical to power incline  and automatically adjust your resistance and you have an elliptical trainer that can target and tone different areas of your body.                                       
Try that with a standard elliptical machine.

With Quick Target Toning you can work on those areas that need extra attention.  Just set your NordicTrack 1300 elliptical to the muscle group that you want to workout and your 1300 will automatically set the resistance level and your incline level automatically for you.

This allows you to concentrate on your workout, not fooling around with buttons and dials.

The NordicTrack 1300 also features commercial-grade construction and gym quality features like the club design heart rate monitor, sophisticated electronics, 18″ stride length, yet it is priced low and doesn’t have a commercial price tag.

The 1300 has a weight capacity of 350 pounds and has a stride length of 18″.

The only drawback to the 1300 is that the footprint is 23″ W x 76″ L x 63″ H where as the NordicTrack SpaceSaver Elliptical has a smaller footprint of  64″ L x 27″ W x 67″ H which is better for smaller spaces.

However, if space is not an issue the power incline of the 1300 is a wonderful trade off.  You’ll find yourself burning more calories and toning those problem areas like standard elliptical trainers wish they could.

  Posted on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Articles on Treadmills – Comments: (0)
  There isn’t much maintenance needed on a treadmill.  Other than making sure that all pressure points are secure and that the treadmill is kept clean and oiled (some treadmills need occasional oiling) your treadmill is pretty much maintenance  free.However, if you own your treadmill for quite a while you may notice that the treadbelt is getting worn. When it does look worn or frayed it’s time to replace the belt.  Don’t stress as it is fairly easy to do.Before attempting to replace your treadmill belt, be sure that you have unplugged your treadmill and that you are only using a new belt that is made for your treadmill model!First remove the cover that protects the engine. You will normally find this at the back of your treadmill and is held on with a few screws.As you loosen the belt, push the roll toward the rear of the cover.

  Folding TreadmillsFolding treadmills can be a great choice for a small living space as they can be folded away, placed in a closet, against a wall and pushed under furniture such as a bed.Folding treadmills often have hydraulic folding mechanisms so that they are very easy to fold and also easy and safer to unfold.In the past when you unfolded a treadmill the deck would come crashing down if you didn’t assist it, but with the newer models this is no longer an issue as they slowly fold down on their own. However treadmills vary greatly in quality.When folding treadmills first came out they were also classed as not sturdy enough for running, and were limited to walking only.Running use of course puts the equipment under more stress as each foot comes down carrying more momentum and more of a shock.  These early fold-up treadmills were lightweight and also sometimes had stability issues with runners.

However, if you own your treadmill for quite a while you may notice that the treadbelt is getting worn. When it does look worn or frayed it’s time to replace the belt.  Don’t stress as it is fairly easy to do.

Before attempting to replace your treadmill belt, be sure that you have unplugged your treadmill and that you are only using a new belt that is made for your treadmill model!
First remove the cover that protects the engine. You will normally find this at the back of your treadmill and is held on with a few screws.

As you loosen the belt, push the roll toward the rear of the cover.  It’s best to work with the front roller first moving on to the rear roller last.

Now remove the screws holding the hood, removing the  band and the cover at the same time. This exposes the deck and check to see  if you need to oil, clean with a clean cloth or lubricate it.  Now before you remove the old belt take a good look and notice how the old belt is attached.

What I normally do with any type of maintenance, is to take a picture or a video and then when it’s time to attach it again I can follow the video.  If you are working with a partner, have one video while the other one removes the old belt. You’ll find putting on the new belt super easy.

Now slide the old belt off (again taking notice of how it looks and where it is attached). Also don’t forget to keep track of the screws that you have removed so that you don’t lose them.

Now it’s time put the new belt on starting on the back of the treadmill and slide the rear roller via the belt.  Put the screws in place in the same way that you did with the front screws.

Slide the front roller forward of the strap and position. Then do the same for the rear roller. Go ahead and push each screw in partially to hold it in place and when all the screw have been added you can start to tighten each one..

Test the best by pulling on it to see if there is to much slack. If there is you will have to work on the rollers again. If it feels fine (and most of the time it will) plug you treadmill back into an outlet and turn the treadmill on at it’s lowest speed.
Watch the belt turn a few time to make sure that nothing is holding back. Then stop your treadmill, then this time turn the treadmill back on and start using it on the lowest speed.  Do minor adjustments as needed.

Before you attempt to remove your old best be sure to check the literature that came with your treadmill to see if there are specific instructions for your particular brand and model.

It should take 20-30 minutes at the most to replace your treadmill belt.

Folding treadmills can be a great choice for a small living space as they can be folded away, placed in a closet, against a wall and pushed under furniture such as a bed.

Folding treadmills often have hydraulic folding mechanisms so that they are very easy to fold and also easy and safer to unfold.
In the past when you unfolded a treadmill the deck would come crashing down if you didn’t assist it, but with the newer models this is no longer an issue as they slowly fold down on their own. However treadmills vary greatly in quality.

When folding treadmills first came out they were also classed as not sturdy enough for running, and were limited to walking only.

Running use of course puts the equipment under more stress as each foot comes down carrying more momentum and more of a shock.  These early fold-up treadmills were lightweight and also sometimes had stability issues with runners.  It is clear that if you are running on a treadmill it needs to be more stable than if you are just walking.

However, in the last few years the quality of folding treadmills has improved greatly and now you will find foldaway treadmills that are virtually the same as the non-folding variety. In fact, it would probably be true to say that most home treadmills now fold.  They can take runners, are not so lightweight and have a good warranty.

With treadmills you get what you pay for to a great extent and if you are planning to use it heavily you will need to invest over $1,000, or for top range models in the range of $2,000 to $3,000.  This is true whether or not you want a fold-up treadmill.

Heavy use for a home treadmill would be if you are a race runner or marathon runner training on it daily, or if you have several people in the household who will use it regularly.

If you are planning to give your treadmill lighter use, either just for walking or for short weight loss workouts, you should be fine with a cheaper model.  For example if it will only have occasional use because you would exercise outdoors in good weather, you can get away with much less.  Be aware though that anything under $500 will be a very basic treadmill unless the $500 is a sale price and the original price is a bit higher.

Sturdier treadmills weigh around 200 pounds or more so even folded, most people would probably not easily be able to lift one.

Consider where and how you will store it.  For example, if you want to store your treadmill under the bed, will you be able to push it sideways?  Most folding treadmills have wheels, but do the wheels rotate or can you only push it back and forward.  This could make it difficult to move under the bed as you would have to turn it around to roll it under there.

So there is plenty to think about when considering your foldaway treadmill purchase but you can also be sure there is plenty of choice available with many brands and models of folding treadmills on the market, and you should have no trouble finding the best one for your home and your workout needs.

You will find a large variety of high quality folding treadmills on this site and by reading a few of the reviews you’ll be able to find the perfect one for you and your living space.

You can also visit the home page of the top treadmill manufacturers and view all of their current folding models.

Fitness accessories that are in addition to your home fitness equipment or special features to look for when you purchase your fitness equipment

You could take photos with just a bare camera. But to get the most out of it you need accessories. The same idea applies to fitness equipment. You could get by with the bare minimum, but by having a few accessories raises the value of your equipment many fold.

Some of these are often built into or come with fitness equipment like treadmills or elliptical trainers. But often those types raise the price far beyond what a separate accessory would cost, while sometimes not being as good.

A good example is a heart rate monitor.

Some treadmills have a heart monitor built into the handles or available as a separate chest strap that feeds information into a central console at the front. But they can raise the price by a couple of hundred dollars or more. By contrast, a good separate accessory may be no more than a modestly priced watch, say about $69.

Several models, in fact, actually look and have features very much like a digital wristwatch. With sensors built-into the strap and/or case, these types offer a convenient way to measure the pulse or heart rate. You just strap them on like you would any wristwatch, press a button or two and the monitor shows the figure in a small LCD display.

Separate heart rate monitors can sometimes be more accurate than those built into a treadmill or elliptical, too if you look for a high end one. Chest straps, for example, can provide a very precise measure of the pulse. You just snap them on at the top of the rib case and the device transmits data to a reader/display unit.

Any good one will not only tell the time of day, but also offer a timer so you know how long to work on any given exercise. They should also be able to store multiple readings so they can be recalled later. Seeing a trend is often better than a single number. In fitness, the recovery rate (how soon your pulse returns to normal after vigorous exercise) is often a better gauge than a single pulse rate at a given time.

Body fat calipers and body fat gauges are another case in point.

Measuring weight is easy with scales. But that can provide only an approximation of body fat percentage by using the BMI formula. [Mass in kg / (height*height) or (weight in pounds * 703) / (height in inches squared)] BMI is a valuable number, since it’s correlated with many health factors. But the body fat percentage is a more direct indicator.

There are a wide variety of body fat gauges on the market, many of which resemble a set of calipers with a small LCD display incorporated. You squeeze the calipers against a fold of skin, say on the abdomen or upper arm, and the display shows an easy-to-read figure.

The gauge should be able to adjust for gender, age and other parameters that make the number more personally meaningful. Storing multiple readings is helpful so you can monitor changes. An audible beep to indicate when you’re pressing with the right force is helpful, too.

There are dozens of helpful fitness accessories that will help you get the most out of your gear and your workout. After all, exercise isn’t an end in itself. Optimizing health is the goal. But optimizing your workout with accessories is one great way to do that.
