What makes the ProForm CrossWalk 500 Treadmill so different than other treadmills that it has become one of the top selling models?

Well to begin with, many fitness experts have found that walking, although it is good for you in terms of being a weight bearing exercise and fairly good cardio, it really doesn't do much for you in the way of blasting fat. And if you really want to face facts, most people who use treadmills are trying to lose weight and burn fat.

This is where the CrossWalk 500 comes in. The 500 is not just a treadmill but a cross trainer, with upper body motion.

Think of it as a cross between a skiing machine and a treadmill. By working the upper and lower body at the same time you burn more calories per workout and build more lean muscle.

As we all know, lean muscle uses more calories per day than fat does, so the more lean muscle you have, the more calories you will burn. Fat on the other hand, hardly burns any calories at all, so even though you may weigh more with extra fat, you will actually burn less calories than if you weighed less but had lots of lean muscle.

Now there are a few crosswalk treadmill models but the 500 has the additional benefit of giving you both audio and visual cues as you workout.

You no longer have to watch the display, but you can also listen. This allows you to concentrate on your workout instead of slowing down to read the console.

The CrossWalk 500 also has power incline and power speed controls that will automatically be adjusted by your workout program or you can adjust the speed and incline on the fly.

Speaking of workouts, the CrossWalk 500 has 10 built-in workouts. 6 of these are cross training workouts and 4 as weight loss workouts.

My favorite of these are the weight loss workouts. This is where you can input how many calories you want to burn in your workout and the CrossWalk 500 will plan your workout for you. This is especially handy if you have a certain weight loss goal.

Lets just say that you want to lose 15 pounds for an upcoming wedding. You know that in order to reach your goal in time you will need to burn 350 calories per workout. When you start your workout, just type in 350 calories and your treadmill does the rest. There are 4 different weight loss programs to choose.

What if you want to tone and firm instead of just burning calories? Then you would choose one of the cross training programs and target your problem areas.

Do you like to jog or run on your treadmill?
The CrossWalk 500 has a patented feature that visually displays your workout's progress in the form of a 1/4-mile track, keeping you informed, while adding motivation to your workout.

Now the CrossWalk 500 Treadmill is a ProForm, so like other ProForm models you have club style heart monitor grips, so that you can make sure that you are exercising in your optimum heart rate zone.

The treadbellt is also wide enough (20") to allow your normal swaying motion while running and also long enough (55") to allow a natural stride. The treadbelt is also cushioned to reduce joint impact and let's not forget the coolaire fan to help you stay cooler during your workouts.

ProForm treadmills are built to last and the 500 is no exception.
The 500 has Mach Z 2.75 HP motor with a 10 year motor warranty and 90 days parts and labor.

I think that the price will pleasantly surprise you, and for a limited time comes with Free shipping, saving you even more.

Now I think you understand why the CrossWalk 500 Treadmill stand out from the crowd and is not your ordinary treadmill.
