About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.
From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.
While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Paradigm Fitness Walking Electric Treadmill
Looking for a basic treadmill? Check out this one! It is exactly what I was searching for: no frills, level walking area, monitors time, distance, calories & walking speed. I agree that the walking area is short but I am 5'3" which works perfectly for me. I can see that it may be a problem for those with long strides.
It weighs 100 pounds which required my nephew's strength to carry into the house. The assembly is fairly easy. The walking area/belt is already assembled. The arms & legs have to be attached (easy). The display unit has to have its electric connections connected (fairly easy). Then attach the display unit to the designated front bar (also fairly easy). You are supposed to apply the enclosed oil to the belt once a year (already done before it ships for the first year). This item is supposed to hold a 350 pound person. I think it would.
My only complaint about this treadmill is that it is very difficult to restart after pulling the "kill switch" (which I did test). I followed the directions in the booklet which comes with this and it still took several manual restarts before the treadmill would operate. I repeated this several times to see if it still followed this pattern and it does. However, it is very easy to power the treadmill down or just hit the stop switch to stop it so I cannot see a real need for the kill switch.
I let my feet roll of the belt and still had no problems regaining balance ( I am 62 years old & not as agile as once was). Of course, I would never allow children or animals around this without adult supervision while it is running.
The electronic display has a button to start and stop the machine as well as a control to increase/decrease the speed & mode, reset, set buttons all which function properly. It also displays the speed, time, etc. On the right arm are buttons to increase/decrease speed. On the left arm are buttons for on/off & mode. It is very easy to hit these buttons and I have shut down the machine many times by accidentally hitting the off/on button. The machine has to run a minimum of 4 minutes before it is turned off or you have to do the manual shut down/restart (a pain in the uh-huh). I have put a wire near this button to keep my hand from hitting the button accidentally.
I had a treadmill years ago which was too loud to hear tv nearby. This treadmill is fairly quiet. I have no problems watching tv while walking and can talk on phone with no problems
I needed a level treadmill as I have several problems with a foot. This treadmill is great for my needs. I will watch to see how it works a year from now. So far I love it!

For the 2 months I used this treadmill - I really LOVED it. I'm 5'3" and it's a perfect size for me and my apt. I wouldn't buy it if you're much taller as the walking platform is very short. But for me it was perfect. I have a bad ankle and this helped enormously in rehab-ing it.
WARNING - Treadmill came in a box that was completely destroyed. Huge hole punched thru the box. But the treadmill worked fine once assembled.
2 Months after purchase - The treadmill seized while I was on it and the platform sputtered. I had to jump off of it. Displayed flashed E1. Treadmill wouldn't restart. I called the phone number at the bottom of the treadmill to see what the problem was.
Paradigm sent me a new computer board but that failed to fix the problem.
Even though it's still under warranty Paradigm refused to replace it saying that Amazon should replace the treadmill not them. Amazon doesn't issue refunds after 30 days so I'm stuck in limbo waiting for Amazon to resolve this with Paradigm.
----------------
UPDATE - Amazon AWESOME in dealing with this situation. Worked it out with Paradigm. Paradigm is honoring the warranty. Shipping new treadmill by fed ex.
YAY for Amazon's customer service folks. The best in the business.
--------------
UPDATE
Only 1 month after replacement treadmill arrived it stopped working. That's 2 treadmills that did not even last 3 months.
DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK
--------------
Finally got refunded from Amazon for the total amount. As always Amazon's Customer Service is AMAZING. Truly the best. Unlike this treadmill which is the WORST. DON'T BUY THIS TREADMILL.

After reading numerous reviews of treadmills, and after cheking out a number of them at retail stores in person, I chose the Pardigm Treadmill. The best price of ANY place was Amazon. I realize I just happen to live close to a point which made shipping unbelievably fast, but even if it took more than several days it would have been alright and it would have been worth the wait.
I agree with all the positive comments that other people had to say about this product in their reviews, and I experienced none of any kind of negaitve things that only a few encountered.
It was as easy to "assemble" as many people had said. It took just a few minutes and required nothing more that a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and the allen wrench supplied in the box. It comes already assembeld for the most part. Very little left to do to put it into operation.
There are treadmills from very low to extreme prices, but none could have satisfied my requirements more than this Pardigm.
It is exceptionally well made. The controls have been placed where they are convenient. You will be able to move and store it easier and better than countless others.
I will highly recommend the Paradigm Treadmill. After a little over one month's use, I can feel poitive physical results.
Whether novice or experienced in personal excercise, this treadmill will provide the excercise you are looking for.
The range of speeds at the lower ends will give any older user safe and comfortable use.
I feel like I sure made the right choice. Actually, there were too many choices available, so selecing one was not easy. But, from so many alternatives out there, and at a fantastic price through
Amazon, the Pardigm really was the perfect choice.
