The Buzz

UPDATE:  Johnson Health Tech has stopped making treadmills under the Livestrong name.  Check out NordicTrack as well as their other brands, Horizon and Vision for comparable treadmills.

The commercial-grade 3.25 hp continuous duty motor is the base of an ultra-quiet drive system on the Livestrong LS Pro2 treadmill. They added a new maintenance free belt and 60mm rollers so you don’t have to worry about lubricating the deck or realigning the tread belt.

Other features include the integration of full cast aluminum components to eliminate vibration, and a new RunnerFirm™ cushioning system for a comfortable workout every day you use it.

The rest of the features are what you would expect to find on a $1999 machine: a 20" x 60" running deck with belt speeds up to 12mph, 14% incline, contact heart rate monitoring, and a 400-lb max user weight capacity.

The Passport media player with Virtual Active, which comes with two program videos from the American Southwest and Northern Italy, works with your home TV. Passport uses a simply wireless accessory (free) to display high definition video of country views or city streets, accompanied by a music soundtrack, for a new way to be entertained while you run. (More scenic views are available for download for $9.99 each.)

The USB device and the Livetrack Interactive technology greatly expand the number of workout programs you can access.

You simple use the flash drive to record and upload your workout stats from your onboard Livetrack Fitness Journal to a private account at livestrong.com. With it, you can also download free training programs designed by Lance Armstrong’s personal trainer, Peter Park.
