When it comes to the Star Trac E TR Treadmill Generation 1 there is plenty to be excited about. The treadmill features all the standard options that workout enthusiasts have come to love over the years, with plenty of added bells and whistles—such as the integrated personal cooling fan placed just at the right angle of the center console. Offering a very low-impact workout, the treadmill features a patented deck system that is littered with tiny shock absorbent springs, designed to cushion each and every step. The front-facing handlebars are ergonomically designed to reduce arm and shoulder strain. And the grips of these handlebars include a proprietary, contact-based pulse monitoring system, which enables users to track their target heart rate throughout the session. Side handrails are offered for the security and comfort of the user. And an automatic shutdown feature will automatically kill the belt action when no movement is detected.
The Star Trac E TR Treadmill Generation 1 offers users a choice of 12 different workouts from which to choose. Created by experts in the field of exercise science, these challenging workout profiles include two fitness tests, through which users can measure their progress from one workout to the next; a random hill course, featuring flat sections and rolling peaks; a 5K Loop course; a program that measures the user’s target heart rate; a grueling, leg-burning Alpine Pass setting; a Quick Start function; and a Manual mode, for those who prefer to create their own customized workout plan.
The console on the Star Trac E TR Treadmill Generation 1 is pre-wired for the company’s patented Personal Viewing System (PVS), with realistic graphics that make users feel as if they are walking outdoors. Not only does this display console supply encouraging readouts and statistics (heart rate, calories, distance, etc), it can also be used an entertainment center, where users can listen to their favorite playlists, watch streaming video, surf the web, and even charge their smartphones and tablets as they workout.
