Aimed at the segment of people who are serious about exercising yet get bored easily, the ow-priced, gizmo loaded NordicTrack A2550 Pro Treadmill solves the problem. This 2010 model features space-age technology and a wide variety of workout programs guaranteed to get couch potatoes on their feet and keep them moving through ten active performance workouts and six weight-loss workouts.

Combining exciting new options with the high quality performance of NordicTrack, this is an affordable option for an exciting home treadmill and health.

The unit's design plus futuristic technology options make this a welcome addition to any home. One of the biggest surprises is the 20 inch by 60 inch running belt giving even tall people the opportunity to take natural strides while running, jogging or walking. Designed to fold up almost vertical, this exceptional piece of exercise equipment takes up little floor space when not in use.

The large computer screen is a high-resolution graphic display tracking the total fitness programs including heart rate, speed, distance, time, pulse and calories used. This machine records heart rate when the user grips special handles and includes heart rate training, which increases the effectiveness of workouts by keeping the body working at a targeted heart rate.

A special feature called Fitness Age Center tracks the fitness age by measuring heart rates before and after a specialized fitness test. Possibly the most innovative feature is the iFIT Live technology allowing the dashboard to be connected with wireless Internet, offering the vision of running through the woods, along lakes and oceans or enjoying specialized, motivated workouts with Jillian Michaels. This requires the purchase of a modular and membership to iFIT.

Regular NordicTrack features include 16 workout programs divided between performance and weight loss. A certified trainer designed 10 specific performance workouts to get people running faster and staying in shape. Weight-loss workouts burn the maximum amount of calories; the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline and speed as needed. One touch control change the speed from 0 to 12 miles an hour, reducing it for rests or increasing it for burn. Other features include a 325 pound deck limit, built-in MP3 Dock, handy console shelf and a powerful 2.5 CHP motor.

Serious runners like motors with 2.75 CHP or more power allowing them to work harder and longer. Runners like shock absorption to reduce impact on joints but like the feeling of running on the solid surface of asphalt. The deck on the NordicTrack A2350 Pro Treadmill is a little bouncy for dedicated athletes. The lower deck weight limit keeps some super sized people from purchasing this low-priced, good performing exercise machine.

Priced at the lowest end of treadmill exercise equipment, this offers diversity in 16 professionally developed workout programs and a dashboard filled with space-age technology designed to keep people motivated and moving. The fold up design keeps it handy and, with a simple movement, the NordicTrack A2350 Pro Treadmill is ready to go from 0 to 12 miles an hour with the touch of a button. This inexpensive treadmill is a fantastic value for people interested in better health and the more energetic lifestyle.
