Carl Lewis Motorised Treadmill: MOTC99

The MOTC99 is the basic model in the range and features the following:

• speeds up to 8mph or around 12kph.
• a cushioned running belt which helps to reduce the pressure impact that running has on your knees.
• 6 preset programmes.
• 1 manual programme that you can set to suit your own ability.
• a backlit LCD screen for easy reading.
• a body fat reader to monitor your progress.
• speed controls on the handle bar for easy use.
• a 2 level manual incline.
• an easily foldable nature for storage. It also has good quality wheels which makes moving this heavy piece of equipment easy.

All of the models in the Carl Lewis range boast these basic features however for a few more dollars (or pounds) you can have one with a higher specification.

The MOT566 is the next in the series. The only difference between this and the MOTC99 is the maximum speed – 10mph as apposed to 8mph. This means it is more suited to advanced runners who like to add sprints into their workouts.

The MOTP12 is again a step up and offers a motorised incline function which allows you to run on any gradient up to 10% and a clip on sensor which measures your pulse through your finger. This neat addition means you can monitor your pulse throughout your workout and keep it within the required range i.e. for fat burning, performance or fitness. This model of the Carl Lewis range is the most popular and offers great value for money.

Carl Lewis Motorised Treadmill - Good Value For Money

If you really want to push the boat out though, then the MOTY5 and the MOTZ10 are the choices for you. Both of these models have a futuristic motion control function which allows you to change your speed simply by waving your hand in front of the console. They also have hydrolic cylinders which fold up the running platform without you having to do it. Obviously, they lower it down again as well. These treadmills come with 14 programmes – 12 presets, 1 manual and a target programme that you set according to your personal goals – and a console which measures distance run, calories burned, speed and your pulse (as mentioned above).

Overall, the Carl Lewis range of motorised treadmills is good value for money. They offer all of the functions you’ll need, regardless of whether you’re a beginner or an accomplished runner, and are easy to assemble and easy to use. The only real drawback is that they are heavy to move but once in position they are a quality piece of fitness equipment that should last a good number of years, even with regular use.

Finding a Treadmill for The Right Cost

Want to walk off that extra pound that has been bothering you? Can you find time to do it? Many of us are facing this dilemma in this busy and expensive country. Public fitness clubs and gyms are sprouting all over the country but time remains a issue. Many of us cannot find time to go to these gyms for our workout and need to fit our workouts into our schedules but the cost of the equipment is mind blowing.

No need to get discouraged though, if you search the right way you can certainly find a treadmill for the right cost that suits you and your lifestyle. The key to getting a cheap treadmill is to search in the right places. WalMart, a rising business that carries numerous types of treadmills is the primary option if you want a brand new cheap treadmill. They carry motorised treadmills for as low as $289 dollars.

If you are looking for one a bit cheaper and don’t mind if it is new or not there are several online options. E-bay is most likely going to have motorised treadmills available for a very good price at www.ebay.com . Sometimes you can also find new ones sold at a good price on E-bay. Another Rising website that offers various items for good prices is Craigslist. By going to www.craigslist.com and browsing through the postings you might find a reasonable price. The only drawback that Craigslist might have is its communication method. Waiting for an answering email can be irritating so put the posts with the phone numbers at the top of your list.

Motorised Treadmills For Sale

A third option that you have is a bit more time consuming but can certainly help is searching through the Greensheet. You can search through their For sale Section, find out where the Garage Sales near your house are and what they are offering. Driving to all the different Garage sales can be very time consuming so it is a lot easier if you go for the ones with the Phone numbers first. Call the provided numbers and confirm whether they have a motorised treadmill available and for how much.

The final method to find a reasonable price is by browsing through the weekly sales at sports ad variety stores such as Academy. These stores always have a lot of savings around Christmas, thanksgiving and Black Friday especially.

So I set out determined to make a difference in my body and lose some serious poundage. Believe me, I tried several different forms of exercise, but the results weren’t coming quickly enough to keep me motivated.

Like many people before me, I discovered the advantages of motorised treadmills. Most people start out walking so I got on and walked at a comfortable pace for thirty minutes. Everyday, I would set the speed a little faster or stay on a little longer and my body just started to transform. I was definitely becoming addicted.

Weight Loss

Having a motorised treadmill in your home is a very good option for many people to lose weight. You can be completely distracted from exercising by watching television or listening to your favorite music. Or if you’re like me, just go to the gym and use on of theirs.

To keep you motivated, many motorised treadmills have a computerized screen that shows you the time you’ve been on, the distance you’ve been, and here comes the best part, the number of calories you’ve burned. You really will be amazed to see this number constantly changing! It might even spur you to stay on a little longer.

Many people have had injuries to their ankles or knees and this make the motor powered treadmill a viable option for them. Unlike walking, jogging, or running on the road, a treadmill provides cushioning and shock absorption. This can definitely save people from injuries and still allow them to lose some considerable weight and tone their body.

It’s about to be that dreaded time of year for many people: swimsuit season! Don’t you owe it to yourself to look better, feel better, and become healthier? So, go on out and use a motorised treadmill, whether it be your own or the one down at the gym. You really will see results and lose weight quickly with a little hard work and dedication. You, too, will become addicted to the treadmill!”
