Horizon Fitness Treadmill

A Horizon Treadmill For Broader Workouts

If you're trying to broaden your exercise routine and want a great piece of equipment for your home, consider a Horizon treadmill.

All treadmills are excellent for those interested in working out at home as you can choose when to workout and whether you want to walk or do a more fast-paced job.

Treadmills also allow you to workout inside where you're not affected by extreme weather conditions (or maybe you're just too modest to run in public). If getting outside and breathing in the fresh air is what you enjoy, a treadmill can still serve as a backup or supplement to your outdoor workout. Whatever your reasons for wanting one, consider the great models available from Horizon to fit your fitness needs.

Horizon features continuous-duty horsepower motors, the same motors that are used in most commercial treadmills. They don't get overheated or overworked at high speeds, but function well at low speeds too. They also deliver reliable, consistent power if you're walking or running.

Treadmills provide great cardiovascular workouts -- essential for good health. Whether you enjoy the popular sport of running (which was recently shown in tests to extend your life) or the less-jarring walking, you'll be doing your body good. Both beginners and experienced runners can use them as part of a full home gym routine to build strength, muscle tone and overall vitality; and it's at home where you're free to build use on your schedule.

Their treadmills are also quiet when they're running so you can still watch the television or listen to the radio without turning up the volume to a point where it disturbs others. Unlike some other models reviewed, the variable cushioning on the deck provides shock absorption where your foot is striking it, and firm support where you're pushing off into the next step.

The Horizon 1.3T model has the look and features that are better than most standard models. The frame is steel for durability and carries a lifetime warranty. The motor (as good as most commercial levels) has a 30 year warranty which is unheard of for any piece of equipment.

Other appealing features include the roomy 20" x 55" workout space, 2-ply belt. The speeds range from .05 mph to 10 mph which suits any age or fitness level, and the incline ranges go from 0 to 10% for an intense and challenging routine; and the red LED readout screen shows your speed, incline and programmed workout choices for easy viewing.

So consider a Horizon treadmill for a good workout. Do your research on other brands if you want, but you'll probably find that Horizon offers a great piece of equipment given its features and overall value. Your body, mind and soul will soon appreciate the benefits of the exercise and improved health.
