The home fitness market in 2020 has been thriving as quite a few of us see convenient cargo solutions that we love that also don’t break the bank. I know on my channel I have been predominantly talking about indoor cycling bikes as our footprint tends to be quite small on average of 4 feet by 2 feet, and they can be purchased for as little as $150 on Amazon. But we mustn’t forget the most original form of cardio which includes walking slash Johnny slash running in the past most treadmills tended to be quite pricey bulky loud and obtrusive if you don’t have the luxury of a separate workout room which let’s be honest how many of us have a separate workout room, so if you’re looking for an affordable compact relatively lightweight travel that can be stored underneath the bed or couch when not in use please keep watching. Today’s video will be broken down into the following topic areas. This treadmill originally retails on Amazon for $359 but there is a $60 off coupon code bringing the total to $299. This channel has an easy folding mechanism and a soft drop design. When folded its dimensions are 55.2 inches by 27.8 inches by 5. one inch in height so for example if you’re planning to store it underneath the couch or bed you just have to make sure the clearance from the floor to the top of the bed is at least 5. one inch. This channel weighs 75 pounds. It has a 2.5-peak horsepower motor. Providing speeds from one to 12 kilometers per hour. It also supports waiting up to 260 pounds it has a 16.5-inch wide anti-slip belt. And also has 12 preset training programs. The LCD screen displays time distance speed and calories burned. It also includes 6 nonslip mat pieces for the leveling feet. This channel was first available on Amazon on 9/7/2020 and is currently ranked number 26 and treadmills. So now I’m gonna talk a little bit about my experience with this treadmill the first thing to note is you must have the magnetic safety strip in place or else the treadmill won’t turn on.
Initially, when I set my channel I figured I wouldn’t need the magnetic safety strip because usually, I don’t close on to Michael’s anyways when I’m jogging but as I mentioned before the channel won’t run until, it’s in place the next point might be kind of obvious but there are no incline functions on this channel but I found you can still break a decent sweat with a jock. The platform tray isn’t the most sturdy in other words I won’t be putting my laptop on it anytime soon. But it does have an included phone holder function which is great for streaming workouts on your phone. I streamed a few pelotons running workout videos on my phone while using the treadmill and well you can’t just be inclined to match the instructors you can still somewhat match your speed to the recommendations, and I find that I still get a better workout following one of those videos versus just trying to motivate myself. Now since this channel is compact and only 27.8 inches in length and maybe a little bit awkward for a taller person if they’re running I’m 54 and I find the size to be perfect for me and my stride length and quick note. I did Google what’s the average stride length for someone who is 54 and what I found is that the average Charlie for someone who’s 54 is 2.2 feet or 27 inches. I just finished my first workout using this channel and arrived in the mail yesterday we set it up and I want to test it out today, this is my first time testing it out I did a quick 20-minute workout and did a total of 2 miles I just use the Peloton app on my phone the staff I took was with Andy Speer and I just set my phone right here on this little leads. First capital on how it would hold up when running on it and luckily it was fine, of course it doesn’t have any sort of inclined but it’s fine if you want just like a fly easy road and one thing I like is that the peloton app also sings to my apple watch, so it can track those workouts and those runs on it.
Now I’m gonna go over a few pros and cons of this channel the first pro I have is that the price seems quite affordable for a cardio machine that suits a variety of fitness levels, for example, for those new to starting a fitness routine you can easily start with walking and build up to light jocks the second pro I have in regards to its size the compact size is convenient, especially if you don’t have the luxury of a separate work out room, for example, I have my peloton bike as well as my treadmill in the master bedroom. The next pro I have is that this channel is relatively quiet it’s not as silent as the peloton for example but it’s not as loud as say a rowing machine another problem I have is that this channel can be tucked away when not in use, or if you kind of fall off the bandwagon of your workout routine which let’s be real and based on my personal experience some of us are not as consistent on a workout routines as we intend to be so one pro to that is that you can just tuck it away, and I won’t sit out and guilt trip you every time you walk by it or become an infamous clothes hanger the last pro I have is that this treadmill is light enough for 2 people to move it together, there are 2 wheels on the front end so say if you’re just moving it from one room to the next you can easily just tilted over and maneuver it also since my treadmill is on the second story of my home it wasn’t too much of a hassle to bring it up the stairs with 2 people carrying either, and just think if you’re trying to maneuver one of those commercial channels that you see at the gym that would be a whole nother story. Now I’m gonna go over a few cons for this channel the first time I have is that if this channel is going to be part of your daily fitness routine you may want to invest in something, that’s a little bit more heavy-duty or something that has an incline function I intend to wait until the whole time releases, their new treadmill models with an estimated release date sometime in 2021 the next con is that the tray table isn’t the most sturdy, so say if you’re breaking a sweat and want something to have the lean on or if you forget that it isn’t the most sturdy you don’t want to bend and snap Ford. And the last time, I have is that the CD shop feels quite flimsy but it does do the job and as I mentioned before the magnetic strip doesn’t need to be mapped onto the channel for it to turn on. So anyway that’s different from today’s video I hope you enjoyed it comment down below what your thoughts on this treadmill, do you think it’s a great affordable compact option or would you prefer to invest in something that’s a little bit more heavy-duty or something that does happen included screen also for those calls on customers would you consider investing in the peloton tread, or would you choose different brands but anyways I hope you enjoyed it and I’ll see you in my next video thanks for watching.
