Smooth Fitness 6.75 Folding Treadmill
The Smooth Fitness 6.75 folding treadmill combines a powerful motor with challenging work out programs to offer you the chance to achieve optimum results in the comfort of your home. This treadmill features an easy-to-adjust folding mechanism, which allows you to wheel the treadmill deck away at the end of your exercises in order to store your fitness machine in tight spaces. The folding mechanism relies on a soft drop system that allows for excellent handling.
The console has a blue, backlit LCD display with bright, vivid colors. You can use it to monitor speed and incline level, distance and time, calories and heart rate. The treadmill has 12 preset programs, that let you select between multiple values for speed and incline, according to the desired intensity level. If you use the pulse reading that is placed on the hand grip, the console will automatically adjust the intensity level. This feature helps you improve your endurance and work at optimal parameters. By simply adding a chest strap, you will benefit from hands-free heart rate monitoring.
Specifications and Features
The functionality and endurance of this treadmill are ensured by the 3.0 horsepower continuous-duty motor. The motor has 
prolonged lifespan, and functions in profound silence. In fact, this is one of the most silent folding treadmills on the market. And it is extremely less likely that you will hear any noise, since the Smooth Fitness 6.75 folding treadmill features a built-in deluxe sound system, which allows you to listen to high quality music while exercising. An input jack will allow you to plug in all sorts of audio devices, such as Mp3 players, CD players and iPods. The music will accurately vibrate through the two speaker console.
The speed sensors and the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) allow for smooth runs even when the speed changes.
In addition to the challenging preset programs, the powerful motor and the pulse monitors, this treadmill features a built-in fan, with 2 alternative speeds, that will keep you cool and comfortable while running. If your workouts get truly intense, you just need to reach across the water bottle – conveniently placed into the water bottle holder.
It is very easy to figure out how this treadmill works and how you should adjust parameters. The bright backlit LCD display, along with the 12 preset programs and the pulse monitors – ergonomically placed on the hand grip – will help you adjust the settings as you wish, according to the parameters that you body functions at.
