When I shopped for exercise equipment, the owner of the company where I bought it told me if he could only have one machine, he would choose a elliptical. I bought one and a couple of weeks later went back to get this treadmill. The treadmill gets much more use in my home, although the elliptical is great, and is probably much easier on the legs, knees, and feet. It also seems like it takes more effort than the treadmill and so it gets ignored a lot. For example, I often spend 100 minutes on my treadmill, but only 10-20 minutes on the elliptical.
I use a function that uses my heart rate to determine the incline and speed. Then I can turn my attention elsewhere. Recently I’ve been using the bicycle videos, Bike-o-Vison, which makes the exercise time just fly by! I’ve been doing one of the California Coast, which includes Big Sur, a favorite place of mine, so instead of biking through it, I’m on my treadmill. That’s a great motivating system for me. I can’t wait until tonorrow until I get to tour Washington D.C. (on my treadmill) and after that a tour of the rain forest or possibly Kauai. Treadmills are so flexible. They take you anywhere!
This is an excellent exercise option. I recommend it. You may not need all the options on this one. In fact, I ust use the HRC (heart rate) or the weight loss sessions. As I get stronger, I might want to do others, but those are flexible enough to do anything I should ever want to do, so a basic machine probably would have been enough.

After having a less expensive treadmill that had a lot of problems, I forked over the money for this one and am happy that I did. You get what you pay for. The cushion that this machine provides has saved my knees (high-quality running shoes also help). I did have a small problem with the belt, but thanks to the manufacturer’s warranty, this was resolved quickly and at no additional cost to me. With any equipment, be sure to check-out the warranty and make sure that the company stands behind its product like Precor does.
