Weslo Cardiostride Plus Manual Treadmill
Our Rating 
|
The Weslo CardioStride Plus Manual Treadmill is a simple walking treadmill that offers cardio workout without breaking the bank.
A dual flywheel which helps the treadmill belt to roll evenly so you can enjoy smooth, natural motion.
Very similar to its predecessor Weslo AerobicStride in almost every aspect except that the Weslo Cardiostride Plus comes with a 3-position manual incline system with 13 to 20 percent range to help you increase calorie burn and reduce joint impact at a walking pace (Weslo AerobicStride has a 2 position incline).

Weslo Cardiostride Plus Manual Treadmill
Important!
We presume that you know what you really want when you decide to buy a manual treadmill instead of a motorized machine. As a matter of fact, one should never compare a manual treadmill directly with a motorized one since the price differential is so huge -- a basic motorized treadmill costs at least 2 to 3 times more money than a manual machine, and the more advanced motorized treadmill can cost 10 to 20 times (or higher) more!
This Weslo Cardiostride Plus Manual Treadmill may not be right for you IF:
1. Your body weight exceeds 250 pounds (because the maximum user weight of this treadmill is 250 pounds)
2. The span between the outer periphery of your 2 feet is greater than 12 inches (check the span as you stand with your feet spaced apart for normal walking), since the walking surface of the treadmill is only 13 inches wide.
Need a wider walking surface?
Take a look at Stamina InMotion II Manual Treadmill which has a walking surface width of 17 inches.
Review by an Amazon Customer:
"I've only had the CardioStride Plus for about a week, but it is reasonably well made and gives you a really good workout. I'm trying to loose a few pounds, so I like to briskly walk for 1.5 miles in the morning and then while watching a movies. I'm using this treadmill to test my diligence to exercise on a treadmill. So far it has surpassed my expectation and maybe I'll keep this one for longer than expected. It definitely works you out more than a motorized treadmill since you are doing all the work.
Pros: Inexpensive, compact/light, simple, great workout for walking, easy set-up.
Cons: The bed creaks a bit while walking, so I have to turn up audio system pretty loud. The belt takes some adjusting to get and keep it centered and I find that when I move the treadmill, the belt often has to be re-centered. This is probably due to the very simple centering system and the fact that minor level changes in the floor will impact belt centering. You also need to keep your hands on the handles which will make reading somewhat difficult." -- Engineeringnerd
