ProForm 505 CST Treadmill Review

The Best Features

1. Powerful commercial motor
   Treadmills take a lot of punishment. They are often put to work every day, sometimes for hours when there are multiple users. The ProForm 505 CST is built to withstand all this and more. In addition to the heavy duty structure of the body, the motor has been designed for top performance.The 2.5 CHP Commercial Motor works to produce a smooth and powerful operation whether you are taking a leisurely walk or sprinting away at 10 mph. The manufacturer offers a lifetime motor warranty as a show of the trust they have in its quality and durability.
2. Preset professional workouts
   The ProForm 505 CST aims to help you maximize each workout session. One way it does this is by providing a range of professionally-designed workouts to get the most out of your sessions. These programs automatically control the speed and incline. Different workouts focus on different areas. Some are designed to help you train in speed, others are aimed at getting a maximum calorie burn while others are designed for intensity.
3. 0-10 mph speed range
   To warm up, you can start out on a slow walk and then slowly increase the speed to a casual jog. To get your heart pumping and calories burning, you can crank the speed up to the maximum 10 mph. The 0 to 10 mph speed range allows for a variety of workouts, depending on the users goals.While the 10 mph maximum setting may be inadequate for professional athletes, it is good enough for most people seeking an effective workout.
4. 0-10 percent incline range
   It is not just the speed you can adjust; the incline can be changed too. Increasing the incline of the running deck allows you to burn more calories because of the extra effort required. It is the same way you would use more energy going uphill.The deck easily adjusts from 0 percent incline to the maximum 10 percent incline. Throughout this range, your body learns to develop endurance. At the same time, you benefit from a higher calorie burn and better muscle training.
5. LCD display
   To stay aware of your performance, the treadmill comes with an LCD display showing calories burned, distance, duration, heart rate and speed. The display is positioned right in front of you for easy viewing even when you are running at top speed.
6. Heart rate monitor
   The treadmill has built-in sensors on both handgrips to take an accurate reading of your heart rate. This will give you an idea of how intensive your workout is and whether you are achieving your target heart rate zone.
7. Space saving design
   This is a feature that has been appearing in most of ProForm’s treadmills. To save space, the treadmill can be folded upwards for easy and compact storage. This allows you to set up the treadmill anywhere in the house and then fold it out of the way when you are done.
