Shaping Up With The Ironman Triad Treadmill

Ironman treadmills are made for one thing and one thing only: getting you in shape and keeping you there. An Ironman treadmill can help you meet any exercise or fitness goal: weight loss, strength and endurance training, cardiovascular health, or just a fondness for walking and running. With a line of eight treadmills ranging in cost from $1,000-2,000, you can easily find the Ironman model that's right for you.

How does it work?

An Ironman, like any treadmill, helps you maintain your fitness by getting you walking or running at a fast pace, so your heart rate will be elevated and maintained at a beneficial level. The belt on the deck of an electronic treadmill revolves at an adjustable rate, so your options or simple: keep walking or running, or fall off. You can even adjust the apparent slope to get the most out of your exercise program. The best part is, you can do it all without leaving the privacy of your own home. It's hard to find a more convenient form of exercise.

I'd like to hear about the features.

Ironman Fitness, a division of Keys Fitness, makes two basic types of exercise treadmills: the basic "M" line (M2-M5), and the more advanced "F" models (150f, 220f, and 320f). All these treadmills are fold-up designs featuring large walking surfaces, five-window LCD displays, and a variety of built-in and custom programs. The warranties are excellent as well: each treadmill in the Ironman line comes with a lifetime frame warranty, a ten-year warranty on the motor, two years for parts, and a year for labor. Not too shabby, eh?
