For many fitness enthusiasts, a treadmill is an indispensable workout machine. There are numerous of these machines available these days especially suited for home installation as they're usually more compact and affordable than commercial ones. One such machine that's been getting a lot of positive reviews from experts is the Sole F85 treadmill. This one has the biggest deck size of all the treadmills for home use that the manufacturer offers. The running surface has an area of 22 inches (width) x 60 inches (length). This makes it suitable for tall individuals or those who take long strides. Working out can be done optimally if you don't have to constantly ensure that you're not going to fall off the machine's end. It's highly suited for people who are into jogging or sprinting. One more thing that makes the machine ideal for intense workout sessions is its weight of 280 pounds. This one is heavier than most rivals out there as well as other treadmill models the manufacturer has come up with. But this is actually an advantage as it offers a more stability, like commercially made ones. Maximum user weight it can support is 400 pounds. Apart from sporting a spacious deck, it also has the most powerful motor that the manufacturer ever placed on its treadmills - continuous duty motor with 3.5 horsepower. This lets you go at speeds of up to 12 miles per hour. Due to the motor's size, you can rest assured that it's going to run smoothly even at that speed. There's no need to fret about the noise it may produce because the large rollers around help solve that. Cushion Flex reduces strain on weight-bearing joints such as the ankles, knees and hips. This feature helps minimize your risk for getting injuries as it helps prevent repetitive strain these body parts get from such kind of workout routine. According to the manufacturer, it reduces up to 40 percent of the impact you get from running on the road. Cushion Flex makes this machine suitable for those who exercise for long periods of time or who have existing joint problems. The console sports a spacious blue backlit LCD which allows the user to access the various features easily. It also displays some data vital for keeping track of your workout. Constantly being displayed are information like the time, distance covered, speed, calories burned, pulse rate and pace. It also shows the program you're currently using. Speaking of which, there are 6 auto and 2 customizable programs around. There are also 2 heart rate control programs available. It's possible for the machine to calculate your target heart rate based on your age for a safe workout routine. A wireless chest strap is included for monitoring the heart rate hassle-free as you use the treadmill. To keep boredom at bay, the Sole F85 treadmill comes with an integrated sound system. Your favorite MP3 player plugs into it via the headphone jack. Also, a fan is around to keep you cool as you run. However, compared to other compact treadmills out there, expect this product to eat up more space even when folded because of its deck size.
