Product Description
Ease of use meets club quality in the Horizon T82, a great all-purpose treadmill for people who are ready to step up to more power and program options. Three orange backlit LCD screens let you see more key feedback at once, and 14 programs help add variety to your routine. MP3 player input makes it easy to exercise to your favorite workout playlist.

Enjoy a vigorous workout in the comfort of your own home with the Horizon Fitness T82 treadmill. The T82 is built around a durable 2.25-horsepower continuous-duty motor, similar to the type found in premium health clubs. The result is a smooth and powerful performance at all speeds, with the ability to run quieter and longer while generating plenty of power for a long workout. The T82 is no slouch from a feature perspective, either, with 14 workout programs to help you focus on your goals, including Manual, Intervals 1, Intervals 2, Intervals 3, Weight Loss 1, Weight Loss 2, Mountain Climb, Rolling Hills, Foothills, Golf 9-Hole, Golf 18-Hole, Pacer, Custom 1, and Custom 2. Add in a speed range of 0.5 to 10 miles per hour, an elevation range of 0 to 10 percent, and ComfortZone air cell cushioning and you have a robust, comfortable treadmill that excels in any environment.

The Horizon control console, meanwhile, emphasizes simplicity, with logical control locations and three orange backlit LCD screens that offer key feedback on your workout. The T82 is also easy to store thanks to Horizon’s exclusive FeatherLight lift, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck. Other details include contact heart rate grips, a built-in cooling fan, an MP3 port with speakers and a headphone jack, and a 20-by-55-inch running area.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
