So what is it about Precor treadmills that give you this exception workout experience? A Low-Impact Technology When you’re running on a treadmill, everytime your foot hits the belt, there’s an impact that moves up through your knee and every joint connected in that chain says “ouch”. In a period of an hour, the impact builds up making you feel tired and sore. If you take away some of that impact, the perceived level of exertion would be lessened relatively.  Precor’s patented Ground Effects Technology solves that crucial treadmill problem. In fact, two issues were addressed with this wonderful feature: a firm running surface that can offer utmost stability and at that same time, flexible enough to take up high-impact motion. Precor got to the bottom of it and transformed high-impact running as a low-impact exercise without compromising stability, safety, or speed.  Precor’s Ground Effects Technology reinvented treadmill deck design by adding more absorption in the front where the foot strikes the belt.  It also has added rigidity at the back for a firm push-off, and greater overall stability necessary to have a safe run.

    So you have an optimized workout that:

  Absorbs high-impact movements.
  Lessens stress and strain on the joints and minimizes fatigue.
  Sustains a rigid and more controlled push off
 
 
Moves the way you move  An effective treadmill run should feel as natural as possible. The better your movements, the greater your experience will be.  Integrated Footplant Technology considers the fact that when you run, the speed of your foot varies. With Precor treadmills, tread speed is calculated and adjusted more than 100 times per second to match your foot speed supporting your natural gait and providing you with comfort and ease of movements. It reduces common joint and shoe discomfort that you may feel with other treadmills that do not maintain your normal running stride.

    In effect, you have an improved workout that:

  Feels absolutely fluid and natural.
  Doesn’t make you feel tired and is friendly on your joints.
  Makes the most out of your aerobic exercise that’s good for your heart and lungs.
 
 
Equally advanced motor  In the battle of bigger and higher motor ratings among treadmill manufacturers, Precor takes pride that its motor may not be as “big” or may not have the “high number” rating, but can compete with its “meaner brothers” in terms of reliability and power. This is because Precor treadmill motors are supported by with the treadmill’s equally high-quality components to provide the ultimate workout experience. It runs smoothly and hums quietly as it delivers significant power and torque at all speeds.  It is furnished with a cooling fan running at constant speed that keeps the motor cool and efficiently performing at slower speeds, which also enhances overall motor lifespan and reliability. A Smart Treadmill with a Heart Heart rate analysis and Smart Rate ® features are available when you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips. Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-sensitive handrail grips, the treadmill provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary. Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained between the target zones shown. The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.

Exercise with an array of exercise programs to choose from

If the equipment isn’t right and it doesn’t complement your goals and preferences, you wouldn’t be motivated enough to get to the next level of your workout. The ideal treadmill should enable you to enjoy it and stimulate you to exercise consistently and achieve the goals that you’ve set for yourself.  An efficient workout program is one that you stick with over time, and Precor has that in mind and equipped its treadmills with programs that are challenging and motivating.
