The Sole S73 Treadmill was specifically designed with the serious long distance runner in mind. The S73 is powered by a high torque, 30 continuous duty HP motor. What that means to you is a treadmill that is high on power, high on endurance and highly effective. The S73 has a very spacious running surface which makes your runs even more comfortable.

Some other advantages of training for a marathon on a treadmill is you can control the pace you are going. With the S73 you can change your speed from 0.5 to 12mph and watch your time on the backlit blue LCD display.

You also wont have to worry about the loud clunking noise you hear on other treadmills, the Sole S73 Treadmill also has a cushion flex shock absorption whisper deck to make your training sessions feel smooth and easy.

As long as you have a Sole S73 Treadmill, it doesn’t matter if it’s day, night, freezing cold or scorching hot, you’ll always be ready for just one more intense training session before the big race.

Plus, enjoy the workout variety of six auto programs or two customizable programs including two heart rate control programs for cardio or weight loss. Other features include a Cushion Flex treadmill deck, arm rest incline and speed controls, a 1/4-mile track display, wide, commercial-sized belt and low-profile running hood.

The treadmill console is user friendly with a vibrant display that includes a message board for clear instruction and feedback. The information that is displayed at all times include Speed, Incline, Time, Distance Traveled, Calories, Pulse and Pace. There is also a 1/4 mile track feature and a Peak and Valley graph for different programs. The console also has built in speakers which allow you to hook up any MP3 player (iPod, etc.) for easy listening.

You really can’t go wrong with the Sole F83 Folding treadmill!

TTR Review

The Sole F65 Folding Treadmill is a step above the rest. Not only is it at a great price, but also has everything you’d ever need in a treadmill. The F65 jumps up to a powerful 2.75 Cont. Duty HP motor which delivers challenging speeds up to 11 mph and inclines up to 15%. The F65 also has a larger deck at 20 X 58 inches in size. Lastly, the F65 comes standard with a larger 7 inch LCD display which is back lit and you’ll find easy to read in any lighting. And as with all Sole treadmills, when not in use the treadmill deck safely locks into place, 100% secured.

With the F65 Sole Treadmill you can run up to six preset programs including cardio training and fat burning specific programs. Other safety features include a large stop switch with tether cord, starting speed of only 0.5 mph, and a low-profile running hood that doesn’t get in the way of your running gait. And a step up height consistent with commercial grade treadmills. Additional features include cooling fans and speed and incline controls on the arm rests.

TTR Recommendation

As with all of the Sole products that we have reviewed, the Sole F65 Folding Treadmill is no exception and is a performance treadmill at a very affordable price. It’s a wonderful treadmill that is more reminiscent of a higher end model than an entry-level treadmill. The F65 comes with everything you need to have an effective workout, but doesn’t sacrifice quality or performance in the process. The Sole F65 also comes with a lifetime warranty on the motor and frame and a 3-year warranty on everything else, so you can rest assured this machine was built for the long haul. And at an ultra-reasonable $1,199 price point, we’d say this treadmill ranks right up there with the rest of them!

Most people don’t know this, but a treadmill, specifically the HealthRider H95T treadmill is a great substitute for the great outdoors to make sure your dog gets to burn off some of that excess energy.

Teaching your dog to walk on your treadmill is a whole lot easier than you may think. With just a little practice and patience, this can be a fun and healthy experience for the both of you.

Here are a few tips to make sure your dog is happy and active on those cold winter days:

Tip 1: Introduce your dog to the treadmill with a leash attached. Walk your dog around the treadmill and allow them to sniff and observe the machine. Standing with your dog to the side, slowly turn on the machine and see how they react.

Tip 2: With the leash still attached, lead your dog onto the treadmill and move towards the front of the machine. If you dog stays put, make sure to reward him with a few of his favorite treats.

Tip 3: Next, slowly turn the machine on the lowest level while holding a treat in from of his nose. Once he is focused go ahead and praise him, while handing over a few more treats.

Tip 4: Once he gets more comfortable, you will be able to release the leash and then will gradually work up to a nice speed.

Depending on the size, breed and energy level of your dog, you will be able to work up to a 15-25 minutes of treadmill exercise per day.

When considering buying a new treadmill, don’t forget about your furry friend. Having a happy healthy and tired dog is totally worth it in the end.

Let’s face it. On January 1, 2010 we all did our best to come up with some of the best New Years Resolutions we could think of. It’s time to get back in shape and you’re motivated more then ever to hit your brand new goals!

Fast forward 2 months… Have you taken the time to digest the past 2 months on how you’ve done so far.

• Did you ever start?
• Stopped because of motivation?
• Up & Down?

Either way, we’re all human and we need things in our life to keep us motivated and focused. Below are 3 tips to help you stay on track and reach your goals.

1. Change your Workout Routine

I know I’ve fallen victim to this more times then I can count. You start out running on the treadmill, complete the workout on the same old paper you walk around the gym with and you’re done.

Why is this bad? It’s boring for one and your body is becoming used to the same workout. You’re not pushing yourself. The result? The fantastic weight loss or muscle you built the first month isn’t moving like it was. You’re body needs to be pushed out of it’s comfort zone.

Get crazy. Change things up completely and the results will be a positive which ultimately keeps you motivated.

2. Get a Workout Buddy

It’s hard to get to the gym on a consistent basis. Early morning workouts you’re tired, lunch time you have errands to run and by the time you get home you’re exhausted.

Teaming up with a buddy at the gym is great for a few reasons. You feel that responsibility to keep working out together, you push yourselves and again, the results are positive.

3.  Reward Yourself

Yes, there’s the typical reward or incentive where at the end of all this you’re going to go on the trip you’ve always wanted to take. That’s great but even after just a few weeks or month you’re already feeling a lack of motivation.

Here’s a great solution to this. You can still have that grand finale at the end but why not treat yourself to a few finer things in life along the way?

Say for example your goal is to lose 40 pounds. Setup smaller goals along the way and for each one setup rewards for each.

• First 10 Pounds – 1st Prize (smallest prize)
• 20 Pounds – 2nd Prize
• 30 Pounds – 3rd Prize
• 40 Pounds – Grand Prize!

If you’ve read this far, hopefully you found this useful. If you have any other additional tips you’d like to share, we would love to hear them!

Yes it’s October again. Leaves are falling, temps are dropping and tubes of fake blood are selling like hotcakes. At TTR we’ve decided to get in the Halloween spirit by detailing some of the scariest treadmills we’ve ever seen. CAUTION: If you’re squeamish about horrifying gizmos, frighteningly bad designs and insane contraptions you may want to stop reading now.

1) The Underwater Treadmill – Ah yes, a relaxing day at the pool. You’ve got your sunblock, your water wings and your snorkel. So what’s missing? A treadmill of course!

The SPT Aquatic Underwater Treadmill simply drops into your pool and allows you to “walk or run in a weight-free environment against the natural smooth resistance that only water can provide.” Really? Whatever happened to–I don’t know–swimming in your pool?

2) The Anti-Gravity Treadmill – And you thought NASA only made space ships. This little doozie is called the Woodway G-Trainer. The G-Trainer™ creates a powerful lifting force, known as Advanced Differential Air Pressure Technology (ADAPT), that allows for precise ultra-low impact ambulation.

In all seriousness it’s a good tool that helps patients recover faster from orthopedic and neurological conditions. But dang, what a beastly looking contraption to have in your living room.

3) Treadmills for Tots – It’s just what every kids wants to see under the tree on Christmas morning…the Treadmill for Tots! Your kids will have hours of fun running and walking and running and walking…or not.

It’s actually not a bad idea, but whatever happened to playing football or riding bikes? Must be a generational thing.

4) The Rollator Treadmill – Just when you thought it was safe to stay inside… That’s right, the Ooms Rollator is the world’s first treadmill with wheels that actually moves when you walk.

I thought the whole point of a treadmill was so you could exercise inside? Again, probably a generational thing.

5) The Dog Treadmill – Our list just wouldn’t be complete without the treadmill for dogs–the Jog A Dog.

If you’ve got a pudgy pooch the Jog A Dog is “designed with the input of veterinarians, physical therapists, breeders and engineers” to help your dog get off the couch and get in shape.

There you have it. The 5 scariest treadmills on the market today. If you own, or have seen, a scary treadmill we’d love to see it. Just attach a pic to the comments section below this post or email us at info@top-treadmill-reviews.com. Happy Halloween!

With the amount of treadmills offered, that come in all shapes, sizes, brands & prices — we used our expertise and best judgment to assemble this list. So without further ado, here we go…

1. Sole F85 Treadmill

Year after year, the Sole F85 Treadmill is awarded the “Best Buy” Treadmill award and it’s more than deserving.

The Sole F85 treadmill may just be the best folding treadmill for runners. It has a powerful motor, extra long running surface and an impressive warranty. Sole has the reputation for building quality machines at value prices. They back it up with an industry leading two-year service warranty.

2. Nordic Track Incline Trainer X3

Yes, this Nordic Track X3 isn’t your traditional treadmill but we at TTR love all of the traditional treadmill rules it breaks.

• 40% incline? Check.
• Lifetime Warranty? Check.
• All the Bells & Whistles? Check.
• Built & backed by a trusted brand? Check.
• Fairly priced at $1,599? Check.

Need we say more?

3. Landice L770 Pro Trainer

The Landice L770 Pro Trainer Home is a rock solid treadmill for any fitness enthusiast. From beginner to pro—the Landice does its job and does it well.

We loved the bullet-proof construction, the class-leading warranty and the simple, yet effective design. Likely this is the last treadmill you’ll ever need and comes with a warranty to prove it. TTR gives the Landice L770 Pro Trainer Home it’s highest recommendation.

4. Sole F63 Treadmill

I’m sure you’re wondering why 2 Sole treadmills are on the same list? If you don’t like go make your own list because both the Sole F85 & Sole F63 deserve a spot on this list.

The Sole F63 is a wonderful treadmill that is more reminiscent of a higher end model than an entry-level treadmill. The F63 comes with all the bells and whistles, but doesn’t sacrifice quality or performance in the process. The Sole F63 also comes with a lifetime warranty on the motor and frame. Plus, at an ultra-reasonable $999 price point, we’d say this treadmill ranks right up there with the best of ‘em.

5. True Ps800 Treadmill

When first stepping on the True PS800, all I could think to myself was “this is a high-quality treadmill”. I’ve noticed that the True treadmill brand isn’t getting enough respect for the quality it brings to the table.

The True PS800 is packed with features and has a running surface like a commercial grade treadmill. This True treadmill can take anything you throw at it. Whether you purchase it just for individual use or have your whole family running on it, you can feel good knowing it will hold up for you.

NOTE: We don’t normally review ellipticals on this site but because of how amazing the new LifeCORE CD400 Elliptical is, we had to do this review.

The all-new LifeCORE CD400 elliptical isn’t your typical front or rear drive elliptical. The CD400 elliptical combines the LifeCORE Fitness quality with their patented center-drive elliptical technology.

Let’s talk about Center-Drive Ellipticals

The patented center drive system from LifeCORE® puts your body in a more natural, upright position during your workout. At the same time the center drive system relieves pressure from your knees. If your knees have issues with hard-impact, then this will allow you to have a longer workout because there’s no to low impact on your knees.

You’ll experience better balance, stability and overall performance with your workouts. Plus, with ergonomic touches like narrower pedal spacing and contoured, comfort grips, you’re guaranteed a comfortable, low-impact workout experience on this Elliptical.

Plenty of Control

The CD400 Elliptical offers an advanced control center with a large, multi-color screen displays time, speed, distance, calories burned and more. The CD400 comes pre-programmed with 18 workouts. They also made sure to think of the “little” things by adding a built-in fitness fan to help keep you cool and comfortable during your workout.

LifeCORE CD400 Elliptical Features

• Large Screen with 18 Programs, Featuring: 12 pre-set, 4 Heart Rate Control, Heart Rate Recovery Program, and 1 User Customized Cours
• Polar Compatible Heart Rate Control Programs
• Center Grip Hand Held Heart Rate Grips
• 16 Levels of Magnetic Resistance
• Friction-Free Magnetic Resistance Provides a Smooth Fluid Motion
• Heart Rate Chest Strap Included
• Built-in Reading Rack
• User Weight Capacity: 300lbs

TTR Recommendation

Again, we don’t normally review ellitpcals on TTR but the new LifeCORE Ellitpicals, specifically the LifeCORE CD400 Elliptical, are changing the way ellipticals are being made. This new center dirve technology gives you that more natural running feeling compared to running on a front or rear drive elliptical.

If you’re looking for a new elliptical, the LifeCORE CD400 comes in with a price tag of $1,499. In our opinion it’s worth every penny.

Although treadmills can help you get a great workout, one common problem that people face when using a treadmill is boredom. Let’s face it, walking, jogging or running for 20 minutes or longer can get quite tedious if you do not find some way to keep yourself entertained. With these simple tips, however, you can keep boredom at bay and keep your workout more exciting.

Listen to Music

One common boredom buster is to listen to music while working out. Some treadmills even have speakers and a feature allowing you to plug your MP3 player directly into the machine. Of course, if you are working out in your home, you can place a stereo system in the room and avoid using headphones altogether. Some treadmill users choose to listen to the radio while working out, while others put together several different song compilations to listen to throughout the workout.

Watch Television

Some treadmills come with a television installed in the machine, but you can also place a television in your home gym to watch as you are working out. Some treadmill users tape their favorite shows and save them for when they workout. Not only does this give you more inspiration to hit the treadmill (after all, you can’t find out what happened to your favorite characters until you go workout), it is also a time-saver that allows you to consolidate two tasks into one while also making it possible for you to skip past the commercials.

Read a Book or Magazine

While it may be difficult to read a book or magazine if you are jogging or running on your treadmill, many people find it enjoyable to read while walking. Of course, in order to make this process simpler, you should look for a treadmill that features a book holder or one that will allow you to add one as an attachment. You might even workout while reading a story to your child or grandchild as part of your bedtime routine.

Workout with a Friend

Getting a “workout buddy” to join you when you hit the treadmill can help keep you motivated while also keeping you better entertained. Of course, your buddy will also need some sort of routine to perform while you workout on the treadmill, but this can be a very effective way of staving off the boredom if you can find a way to keep both of you busy. Or, if you have a friend with a machine at his or her house, you might even want to chit-chat over the phone while you both workout at the same time.
