About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Sports reviews of Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill

Customer Review: great treadmill, but heavy to get in the house
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This treadmill is a great product--very sturdy and runs smooth. It is better than the treadmills that I was using at the high-priced gym where I was a member. The only problem that I encountered was getting it into the house--it took 3 strong guys grunting pretty hard to get it in the house. Once inside, though, set-up was easy and took about 30 minutes. The only thing needed was a phillips screwdriver ( the one supplied could have done it-but it wasn't too easy with it.) All in all, I am really happy with this treadmill--it's a well made product!

Customer Review: happy with my treadmill
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This treadmill is great. As everyone says, it is heavy but I figure if it's going to last, it has to be. It is quite & sturdy & smooth. I am not a runner (and space is somewhat limited) so I didn't think I needed the longer treadmill, however if your stride is short as mine, I think it'll work out great for running also. I like the covered bottom of the treadmill. I have pets and I feel safe that they can't get into harms way by getting in between the rollers. I really do like this treadmill. I am happy I got it.

Customer Review: Pleased w/Bowflex
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I also did my research before purchasing this treadmill. The 7 series was rated one the best buys on CR, but was more on the higher end pricewise. I just used my Bowflex Series 3 Treadmillfor the 1st time yesterday & am very pleased. It is sturdy, smooth, quiet, easy to use, fold up & looks great on top of it all! I just have to say that by far, this treadmill is one of the best ones out there.

Customer Review: Finally, I am motivated to work out.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I make excuses for my lack of exercise. I hate it. This machine has given me huge motivation to use because it is sturdy, easy to operate and it is inviting. I especially like that when you lift the walking part, it lowers using hydraulic power, I don't have to be strong to move it around. We live in the North, so getting exercise in the winter is imperative for our best health. All of my family are beginning to use this product. It was well worth the money.

Customer Review: very happy
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I was a little concerned when I read of some shipping, damage & delivery problems, but I had none of those. The package arrived without a mark and the delivery guy helped me get it inside where I needed.
Set up was a breeze (did use a rachet wrench rather than those toy tools they send you). My wife and I have been working it out twice a day since then without any gliches.
Great machine, Great value
