Justin’s Witty Commentary:

This is a pretty standard average treadmill for walking and light running. If you plan to do marathons look for something higher-end, son. High points include above average speakers for a treadmill and a really nice looking and informative display. The belt size is smaller than similar treadmills, so try it out first if you are really tall or really run your ass off. Oh and if you have an iPod this has a iPod dock that will keep your iPod charged and play your tunes, but I’m not sure I really like the idea of being tethered to having to use an iPod – for instance, I have a Zune (don’t laugh) – I would have preferred a simple audio universal input that I could use with any music device.
