Comments

• If you're looking for an affordable TV treadmill, the Nordictrack Perspective is not the best, but not a bad choice as well. Perhaps the most affordable TV treadmill that you will ever find is the Proform Perspective ES. If you're going to spend $1499, might I suggest you upgrade to the Nordictrack Elite 7500 treadmill which can often be had for $1599. Comparing the two, you'll find that the extra $100 is well worth it.

Get the most out of your cardio workout with the NordicTrack Perspective Treadmill. This treadmill can guarantee its utmost performance with a Mach Z 2.5 CHP Commercial Motor. It is very sturdy and has a weight capacity of up to 350 lbs. The 1.9" Precision Rollers makes your treadmill run smoother with reduced noise. The CoolAire workout fan lets you cool down so exercising becomes more comfortable for you.

It also has a 0-12 MPH QuickSpeed control so you can burn more calories. The personal odometer lets you monitor each step you take and the distance you have traveled. It has a Wireless Chest EKG Heart Rate monitor so you can keep track of your heart rate while staying in your target heart rate zone. Its wireless feature gives you more freedom to exercise. By just gripping the handlebars, the sensors pick up your pulse information and display it on the console.

The ProStride Impact Reducing Cushion lessens strain on your joints and keeps your ankle protected. This treadmill has 16 Personal Trainer workouts that automatically adjust its incline and speed to focus on aerobic, weight loss, or performance goals. It has more heart rate workouts (4), and 2 learn workouts that you can customize to fit your fitness needs.
