LiveStrong LS12.9T Treadmill is a high spec treadmill, developed by livestrong – which is part of the livestrong foundation formed to fight cancer. The Livestrong foundation was fathered by Lance Armstrong, probably the worlds most determined athlete. Not only did Lance beat cancer, but he continued to race and win afterwards.

When you buy a LiveStrong LS12.9T Treadmill you will be helping to fight cancer, however you should still want to know all of the positive and negative features of the treadmill before you buy, as it rolls in at a fairly sizeable 1,299 dollars.

Room to breathe

There are too many treadmills on the market that restrict your running movements. This especially applies to treadmills that work well in homes. With the LiveStrong LS12.9T Treadmill, you can enjoy a large full sized running deck. This is useful when you want to break off into quick sprints, and when you are feeling a little tired, and need some leeway to catch the odd slip and stumble.

Sturdy, strong and powerful

With a user capacity of up to 350 pounds, you can be sure the frame of the LS12.9T will support most people. This large user capacity reflects the machines strength – which is backed by a lifetime warranty. With a top speed of 12MPH, you can be sure the machine will always outrun you, saving you money on having to buy another machine. It has an incline of up to 14%, which is just one percent lower than its sister model, 400 dollars more expensive.

Settings, toys and workouts...

Interestingly, the LS12.9T actually has more workout programs than its more expensive version that costs 400 dollars more. There is a built in mp3 player and an Ipod dock, which is great for entertainment purposes – helping you to get into a good rhythm whilst also helping you to enjoy the workout itself! There is a built in cooling fan, which I love because it can get so hot and claustrophobic while running! Built onto the machine are wireless heartrate monitors, however there is a chest pad for more accurate readings.

Treadmill Comfort

Having a comfortable machine is really important, as it can make all the difference between running inside and out. The LS12.9T treadmill has three maxcomfort zones, with padding on its extra large deck – helping to absorb the shocks and impacts that naturally occur when running.

Ease of use

Fitting exercise into everyday life can be a real challenge, especially for people stretched for space. The LS12.9T livestrong treadmill folds away for ease of storage. This easy fold away mechanism allows you to exercise in any room of the house, without being tied down to the commitment of having it there forever! Another convenient feature is that it is backed by a full, lifetime warranty – allowing for peace of mind in your purchase. With a whisper quiet motor, the machine can be used without waking children or disturbing neighbours. The only snag is the price, however considering the machine is close to industry standard fitness treadmills, its worth every penny! It is also very likely that the Livestrong LS12.9 Treadmill will retain its value for a number of years, making it a great purchase.
