Manual Treadmill

Treadmill Product Description

An easy, affordable way to get a great cardiovascular workout at home regardless of the weather or time of day, the Stamina InMotion II treadmill is a great choice for home workout enthusiasts. The treadmill is self-powered, meaning you set your own workout pace rather than relying on a motor. Not only is this an energy-efficient means of staying in shape, but it's also extremely quiet, so you can easily watch low-volume TV shows or listen to music while running without disturbing others. The InMotion II also offers a 42-inch-long walking/running deck that accommodates both longer and shorter strides, along with dual-weighted flywheels that keep the deck running smoothly. And users will love the multi-function, battery-operated monitor, which tracks distance, workout time, speed, and calories burned.

Perhaps most importantly for crowded homes, the InMotion II folds up and stores easily in a closet or garage. Other details include a textured, non-slip walking/running surface; foam-padded front and side rails; a heavy-duty steel frame; a pair of incline positions (8 and 10 degrees); skid-resistant rubber floor protectors to maximize stability; and a weight capacity of 250 pounds. The InMotion II--which doesn't require an electrical outlet, so you can put it just about anywhere--measures 46.5 by 43.5 by 26 inches (W x H x D) when fully assembled and weighs 56 pounds. It's also backed by a one-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts.

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.

Good Buy   Review Date: February 8, 2008 Reviewer: M. Krumm, Wisconsin, USA This was a great purchase! I enjoy doing my workouts on a treadmill, but can't afford to buy a treadmill that costs several hundred dollars. The price was perfect, assembly was easy, and it is a great workout. You do have to work a little harder to get and keep the belt moving because it is a manual, but that makes the workout even better. It takes some practice to get used to the manual belt and to figure out how to keep your steps evenly paced, but after about 5 minutes you are into the groove. The size is nice, too. The treadmill folds up and stores nicely. The belt is the perfect size for my 5'6'' stride. My husband is 6'3'' but as long as he keeps the start of his stride at the very front of the belt, he can get a great workout, too. Obviously, I am very pleased with this purchase! Wonderful for the price!   Review Date: March 11, 2008 Reviewer: S. Salvatore, SI, NY I've had this treadmill for about 3-4 months now, and wow. It's great, easy to store and move and works well. I use it while watching TV in my bedroom. I've already lost 20lbs! If you don't feel like going to the gym that day, use this manual treadmill instead! It's a great price and a great product. I'm 24 and female and put the treadmill together on my own in about 30 minutes. Very nice product! Highly recommended! Great Product   Review Date: July 28, 2008 Reviewer: Cool Mom, Utah I just got this treadmill and I love it. I researched motorized treadmills quite a bit. I wanted a really quality treadmill. I have had a cheaper treadmill before and I realize that for a really good motorized model you need to spend over $1,000 for one that will last. I decided to wait a while to buy once since I didn't have that much money just lying around. Then I happened to find out about manual treadmills, so I did some research on them. I remembered using one years ago in the gym of an apartment complex I lived in. I found out that manual treadmills actually give you a much better workout than a motorized one because you are powering it yourself and you are walking or running on a slight incline. Manual treadmills are much better for toning your legs, butt and hips than a motorized treadmill. I read all of the reviews of various models and finally decided on this one. I got it and put it together very quickly. I walked on it for a few minutes, like the instructions suggest, and found it needed to be slightly adjusted. After I got it adjusted so the belt wouldn't move from side to side I did an actual workout on it. Recently I have been doing the same walking/running workout outside in my neighborhood and also on my brother's motorized treadmill. Doing my usual workout on this treadmill worked me out harder than the other two methods. I really like the monitor that tracks the time, speed, distance and calories and it seems very accurate, other than the calories. Figuring out how many calories you are burning depends on how much you weigh and how much muscle tone you have, so I would not count on the calorie counter for being very accurate. I like the fact that when it's folded up it takes up very little room. It does take a little getting used to compared to walking on the ground or on a motorized treadmill, but once you figure it out it is a great workout. I would highly recommend this treadmill. Simply simple   Review Date: April 15, 2008 Reviewer: M. Harris, Ft.Mitchell,Ky.USA Had a little trouble getting the darn thing, was sent the first time without the hardware, but as usual Amazon handled the whole problem with no problems had the bad one picked up the new one delivered. It calls for two people to put it together but I did it by myself....and I'm a 60+ female. Works very well. I'm very pleased with it, for the money you can't beat it. better than i expected   Review Date: October 16, 2008 Reviewer: Genevieve M. Triana, I knew I was purchasing an inexpensive piece of equipment and I expected it to have some quirks, but I was surprised!! I initially bought this to walk on while watching tv so that I could waste my time wisely, but am now using it more often than I thought I would be. Thie silicon spray is a must! It helps to keep the machine working at its best. I am short 5'2" and find that if you are walking on the treadmill you need to have at least one hand on so that you dont start running!! But if you want to run it goes at your pace and is very stable!! It is also very compact adn easy to put together!! I did it myself in my PJ's!! Stamina InMotion II Manual Treadmill Review   Review Date: October 25, 2009 Reviewer: Michael S. Hoover, USA First, when this is in box it is very,very heavy and bulky have help if possible moving it around, lucky I had a dolly. Now, get out all nuts, bolts washers etc. etc. and match what you got with the parts list, I was fortunate it was complete. Matching the bolts with a different type would be hard. Get out your box end wrench set, borrow a friends or use a good crescent wrench, use a 3/4 inch & 11/16 inch box for the large bolts, the tool provided is a joke for assembling the item but OK later to check for tightness. Provided Allen wrenches work well. Assemble per instructions they are precise. Adjusting the belt takes some getting use to so work slowly it will finally be running in the middle, patience with this is a must!!! I have lower back problems and walk 4.6 miles per day, nearly 61 years old and missed 32 days last year and wanted something to use when the weather does not permit walking, this fits the bill. CAUTION, you are going to be using muscles that you do not use when just walking. It's very much like loading a U-Hall truck walking up the plank, the next day you'll really feel the new muscels being used, don't think this is tit for tat like walking, start a little at a time and build up your strength and muscels or you will burn yourself out quickly. I also put 2 like bricks surrounded with foam rubber under the back end to level it out even more, when starting out grab the handles firmly and hold on b/c until you get use to the thing you can fall pretty easily. Support yourself when getting on to start walking & slowly getting off to make adjustments. The belt adjustments are tricky at first just take your time. Wear good walking shoes so as to have a good grip to the belt. I know exactly how long the 4.6 miles take so I have not even used the electronic distant device, my legs tell me, walking 4.6 miles takes me exactly 1hr 20 min so far I'm up to 20 min on the treadmill, it's work!! Why did I buy it? The pavement doesn't move for me and I didn't want all the bells and whistles with an electric treadmill, just a lot more things to go wrong and a good one costs 2k+!!! Most people want devices to work for them, the pavement works against you when you walk so I wanted something that would make me work not the other way around. Oh, buy the silicone belt spray you'll need it very soon. If this treadmill wears out in a year I can just about buy 7 years of these for 1 top electric treadmill and get a lot better workout. Happy walking and take your time getting use to it!!!!! Mike
