Running is one of the most popular sports. He earned his popularity by training not only the muscles of the legs: jogging improves endurance, complexly affects the back muscles and abdominals. However, the environment dictates its own laws, and the planned training in the street can be stopped by pouring rain.
In addition, running on the street is associated with numerous nuances: finding the route of running, buying sports analyzers (running hours), travel time to the stadium or rough terrain. All these disadvantages of street running are compensated by just one acquisition - a treadmill.
Features
ProForm company positions its products as home exercise equipment for exercise, however, their treadmills can be found in fitness clubs and halls. Versatility and reliability are qualities that any ProForm equipment guarantees. Technology does not stand still, and the treadmill without additional features can not interest the athlete. Therefore, all available models of the company are equipped with additional features that allow you to run with greater convenience and comfort.
All simulators have many functions and are balanced devices for the sole purpose of running with maximum productivity.
The range of tracks from the company ProForm covers different price categories in which the most expensive devices offer more improvements.
Functionality
The treadmill board is most often executed in the form of a pie chart. In any simulator, an electronic scoreboard plays an important role - it controls the entire process. Thanks to the LED display, you can recognize the characteristics of training, such as:
- web speed and angle of inclination;
- pulse at the moment training;
- current session time;
- pace;
- distance;
- burned calories.
Data is accurate and helps you plan your next workout, as well as track and save progress. In general, the scoreboard is very informative, and allows you to follow the process of running. Monitoring can be significantly expanded and more accurate data can be obtained by using additional services. One of them, iFIT LIVE, offers a lot of opportunities: building routes using Google maps, training programs from famous coaches and much more.
Loyalty to connecting different programs makes ProForm simulators unlimited in new training and opportunities.
The lineup
The company offers several types of tracks, consider the most popular.
Performance 350i
The model is designed for productive training and combines all the necessary elements for this: tracking information using the screen, the possibility of musical accompaniment (player connection), a variety of training programs for individual selection of training.
Specifications:
- maximum user weight - 115 kg;
- the volume of the canvas - 127x46 cm;
- maximum speed - 16 km / h;
- shock absorption using 2 ProShox ™ cylindrical shock absorbers.
If we consider the track 350i in terms of multi-functionality, then it not only plays the role of a simulator, but also serves the user as a multimedia station. In addition to many interesting features, you need to note the following innovations.
- Pockets designed for personal items. A telephone, a bottle of water are things that you may need during your workout. Thanks to the pocket on the simulator, a person can quickly take advantage of things.
- Rollers for comfortable and fast transportation. Thanks to the roller system, it does not take long to change the location of the simulator.
The disadvantages of a treadmill include a relatively small running belt - the surface for running, which is in motion. Due to the lack of a compact model, the weight of which is in working condition only 64 kg.
In addition, the simulator can develop a speed of only 16 km / h. For most runners, this is not a disadvantage, but if the plans are speedy, you should think about a different model.
ProForm Power 1295i
Model 1295i differs from the previous one in that it is equipped with several improvements that are designed to satisfy all the needs of the user.
Specifications:
- maximum user weight - 135 kg;
- the volume of the canvas - 152x51 cm;
- maximum speed - 22 km / h;
- shock absorption using 4 ProShox ™ cylindrical shock absorbers.
Consider some of the benefits of the simulator.
- Mark "32" - This is the number of training programs built into the simulator. Of these, 17 will be interval, and another 17 - tempo programs. A large number of possible approaches to training will satisfy different needs (mileage increase, preparation for competitions at short distances, and more).
- Fan. Fan power control gives the user control over the flow of cool air.
- Android based browser suggests using the internet.
There are some disadvantages. Power 1295i has the highest price among the line of simulators, therefore, has the maximum performance. For home sports, such details as a large maximum running speed and permissible weight do not play an important role. Therefore, if the user has no special requirements (large allowable weight or fan availability), it will be more economical to choose a model with simplified characteristics and not overpay.
A high-powered motor, as well as a large running canvas, make the treadmill heavy compared to other models, which makes it difficult to transport.
