Whether your goal is to win races or simply enjoy a fuller, healthier lifestyle, the Horizon Evolve Compact treadmill can help you achieve it. Designed to get you up and running fast, the Evolve Compact requires no assembly, weighs only 99 pounds, and is built around a sturdy pair of wheels. This makes it very easy to set up right out of the box, or move to the most convenient spot in your home or office on the fly. Once your workout begins it's just as easy to monitor, modify, and maintain your workout schedule with its simple console controls, and a thumb pulse heart rate monitoring system, two workout programs (manual and weight loss). And after your workout, the Evolve Compact treadmill folds down to a very manageable 10 x 59 inches, allowing you to store it out of the way in the upright position against a wall, or horizontally underneath a bed.
Although ultra-compact and easy to use, the Evolve Compact doesn't lag on performance. When unfolded, its 17 x 45 inch running surface easily accommodates most walking or jogging strides, while its built-in handles help you maintain balance throughout your workout. Its 1.25 continuous horsepower motor provides smooth acceleration and deceleration of belt speeds, which range from 1 to 6 miles per hour, and can be stopped at any second with the quick pull of the easily accessible console safety key.

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.
