| littlerun's Full Review: Smooth 5.0P Treadmill |
I’m so excited about writing this review! When I have good news, I like to share it with the rest of the world!
Last spring, just about a year ago, I looked in the mirror and wasn’t too pleased with what I saw looking back at me! Over the winter months, I had put on several pounds; cellulite was beginning to appear on my legs and thighs; and, I could barely squeeze into my clothes! Summer was approaching, and I could not imagine being seen in a swimsuit in this condition!
I don’t mind exercising. However, I prefer to do so in the privacy of my own home! I feel so self-conscious working out at gyms or running down public streets, that I simply don’t do either! I wanted to try something different…something other than workout videos! I thought about the kinds of exercises I really enjoy! Walking and running were at the top of my list! So, it just made sense to investigate home treadmills!
Now, I’m not a wealthy woman. So, I needed to find an affordable, yet, reliable treadmill (if such a treadmill existed!)…And, because I don’t live in huge home, I needed a treadmill that wouldn’t take up too much space!
I began going to retail stores in search of the perfect treadmill. Unfortunately, that task became too frustrating and time-consuming! So, I sat down at my computer and did a search on treadmills. Among the listings was the web address for Smooth Fitness. I decided to check out this website to see if I could find what I was searching for! I brought up the Smooth Treadmill page and scrolled through the available treadmills. When I came across the 5.0, it really caught my attention! The price was right! It wasn’t too big, and it folded for storage! Those facts, alone, made it seem perfect for me!
Well…I DID buy the Smooth 5.0! And, I’m very glad that I did! It’s been a wonderful investment! I simply love the features of the 5.0! It comes with 3 preset programs and 6 user programs! Its speed/incline controls are on the side rails, for quick, easy adjustment; and, it has a very quick response time to commands! It has a Stability Extension System (SES) that gives this folding treadmill a very solid feel! It can go up to 12% elevation and from 0.6 to 10 mph! The 5.0 also has a calorie/distance counter, which I find very useful in determining the length and intensity of each workout! The 5.0 even has an emergency stop key, as well as a place to set my water bottle, books, CDs, etc. I can read, watch television, listen to music, or simply gaze out my window, as I workout! It’s wonderful! I totally recommend the Smooth 5.0 Treadmill!
