Sole F85 Treadmill (2009 Model)

When looking for a treadmill today, the Sole F85 Treadmill is my favorite choice, because of it’s quality, performance and warranty but where did they originate from? The word treadmill traditionally refers to a type of mill operated either by an animal or by a man in order to grind grain (tread-wheel). Treadmills were used for the first time in 1817 in prisons as a method to reform troublesome prisoners.

As time went on, the treadmill was developed especially for hospitals, and a good example is the treadmill models in 1952 used by Dr. Robert Bruce who used them to diagnose heart and lung afflictions. In 1968 Dr. Kenneth Cooper did research on the benefits of aerobic exercise and published a book providing a medical argument to support the commercial development of the home treadmill and exercise bike. The Sole F85 Treadmill is a great solution to work out on during bad weather and low temperatures and also the reduction of the impact on your joints.

The bonus you get with the Schwinn Airdyne Evo Comp is the integrated exercise arms, which allows you an upper body workout along with a lower body one.
