Spirit Z500 Treadmill

The Z500 features a 3.0 horsepower motor with a 0.5 to 12 miles per hour speed range (which can be modified in 0.1 miles per hour increments), and 2.75-inch drive rollers providing superior performance and durability for the 1-inch cushioned deck with 2-ply belt.

This Spirit treadmill offers the unique Heart Rate Auto-Pilot feature, which allows you to instantly enter the heart rate control mode at any time with the press of a button. The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button. During any program, you can press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC mode. Your current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained automatically by the Auto-Pilot mode. Press the elevation / incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode. The Z500 comes with a wireless chest strap and hand pulse rate sensors built into the console.

The large, easy-to-operate data console features an 8 by 20-inch tri-color profile display and scan function, with 16-character message window and heart rate percentage graph. It has six standard programs, two user-defined programs, 12 quick keys for speed and elevation, and two heart rate control programs. The display offers six windows that provide information on time, distance, calories (per hour), laps, pace, incline, scan, and pulse.

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.
