Smooth 9.35 HR Review

Smooth Fitness offers some of the best mid-priced range treadmills out there and the Smooth 9.35 HR is a great example of what a mid-priced non-folding treadmill should look like (too many hyphens in there ;-) ). Treadmill Doctor has rated this as "one of the best treadmills in the under $2000 price ".

Weslo Pro CrossWalk 7.8 Treadmill Review

The Weslo Pro CrossWalk 7.8 treadmill is one of the more expensive Weslo models but still falls short of the sister company's, ProForm, treadmill quality. The CrossWalk 7.8 comes with some nice features for a treadmill in its price range but when compared to other models

Sole F83 Treadmill Review

The Sole F83 treadmill is one of those in-between models that uncomfortably sits in the middle price of the F80 and F85. The problem with the F83 is that it does not offer enough features from a pricing point to recommend it over the F80. Also, the treadmill is closely priced to the F85 which in all reality is the better deal.

The F83 is a good treadmill it is just that the pricing structure seems to take away from the sparkle for this machine. Read our full Sole F83 treadmill review to see all that this treadmill has to offer and why we still recommend the F80 or F85.

All the best.

ProForm 780 CrossWalk Review

The ProForm 780 CrossWalk is the top of the line CrossWalk treadmill currently offered by ProForm. It is priced barely over $1000 and comes with some nice features. The treadmill includes the unique CrossWalk arms to help burn an additional 50% more calories during the workout. Also included is a 3.0 HP commercial drive motor that should give plenty of power for the CrossWalk workouts. The treadmill is still a little undersized for the heavy runners but is a good entry level treadmill with nice features.

Ab Coaster Review

The Ab Coaster is a unique abdominal exerciser that is designed to mimic hanging leg raises. The issue that most people have with hanging leg raises is that it requires a lot of upper body strength to execute the exercise. The Ab Coaster eliminates this issue by removing any stress on the upper body to support the movement.

About Adominal Exercise Equipment on As Seen on TV

Weight loss products are some of the most highly marketed products and for good reason. Most people whether or not they do anything about it are concerned with the way they look. Everyone would like to have a nice body but very few people are willing to put forth the effort to attain one. The problem is that if a gimmick advertised on TV can promise quick results with little effort it is going to attract a lot of attention. Since most of us are concerned with our stomach it should be no surprise that abdominal products are some of the most popular As Seen on TV products advertised towards those trying to lose weight. The key is to be able to identify which products are good and which ones are nothing more than a gimmick.

We have a little article on whether or not As Seen on TV exercise machines are any good. It is an older article but one still worth pointing out.

All the best.

Weslo Cadence GTX

The Weslo Cadence GTX comes with a 2.5 HP motor and supports a maximum user weight up to 250 pounds. It is a big improvement over the Cardio Stride Plus and Cadence 55 treadmills but still falls short as a budget treadmill. Read our full Weslo Cadence GTX review to see what we do and do not like about this treadmill.

Weslo Cadence 25 Treadmill

The Weslo Cadence 25 is an interesting machine and we cans the treadmill models quality improving as the Weslo line of treadmills price increases. However this is still a very inexpensive machine. The Cadence 25 is priced around $300 which is still considered cheap for even a budget treadmill.

Again, like the Cadence 55 treadmill we still believe you will be better off investing a little more money for one of the ProForm treadmills. ProForm does make one of the best budget treadmills. They are a little more expensive but not enough that should not be considered.

Read our full Weslo Cadence 25 treadmill review to see what we do and do not like about this machine.

All the best.

Weslo Cadence 55 Treadmill

The Weslo Cadence 55 treadmill is the second model in the long line of treadmills offered by Weslo. The Cadence 55 is a huge improvement over the entry model, the Weslo Cardio Stride Plus. However, we still do not really like this machine. The best feature is that it is really inexpensive but in a reality spending a few more dollars on a better budget treadmill will be well worth the investment.

Read our full Weslo Cadence 55 treadmill review to see why we recommend that you spend a little extra and take a look at the ProForm treadmill line.

Read our full Bowflex Series 5 treadmill review to see why recommend that you pass on this model.

Bowflex Series 3 Treadmill

Bowflex makes a nice looking treadmill and the Series 3 is their entry level treadmill that they offer. The Series 3 treadmill does come with some nice features but at the same time it doesn't compare well with other treadmills in its price bracket. We have put together an extensive Bowflex Series 3 treadmill review to outline what we do and do not like about this machine.

Smooth 6.45M Treadmill Review

The Smooth 6.45M is the same great treadmill as the Smooth 6.45 with an the addition of a sound system included in the treadmill. The 6.45M is only about $100 more than its little brother and still packs the same great features, power and stability.

Smooth 9.45 TV Treadmill Review
