Smooth 7.6 HR Pro 2010

This model will offer feedback on time, distance, calories, incline, speed, heart rate. The console includes certain features that make workouts so fluent and easy to adjust. There is a Scan/ Hold button that allows you to switch between time, speed, pulse, distance, calories and incline level. You can also test your fitness with the Fitness Test function.

After completion of every program, the Cool Down feature will be activated for 1 minute.

You can either use the handgrip pulse monitors if you find it convenient. Or you can go for the chest strap that will make target heart rate programs so much easier to complete.

The Smooth 7.6 HR Pro includes differentiated preset programs to choose from: the Target Time program, the Target Distance program, the Target calorie program, the Interval Incline program, the Interval Speed program, the Weight Loss program, 5K, Heart Rate Control program.

You can also go for a customized program if interested.

The Smooth 7.6 HR Pro is one of the best treadmills Smooth has ever produced. Our first experience is backed by this second one. If we can consider the technical specifications of the treadmill’s components, we can recommend it to any runner and to all those users who want to stay in shape.

Still, if you count the advanced features now available on the competitive treadmills and the minimum entertainment features that even $1000 models have, Smooth 7.6 HR PRO disappoints.

First off, don’t worry about the space this unit covers, because you can easily fold it thanks to the incorporated switch that makes the treadmill fold itself. This is great since the machine weighs 310 lbs.

Secondly, you’ll get a powerful motor that holds up amazingly well. The 11.2 mph is more than what most runners need. And the 15 levels of incline really add up to this treadmill’s capacity of fulfilling high fitness Cardio goals.

The running surface is great for taller users who need the long treadbelt for a comfortable workout. The cushioning system is also worth mentioning. It really reduces the impact on joints and back and insures injury-free training.

The display is easy to use and user friendly. Not only you can easily manage the display features, but you’ll also get feedback on the most important details simultaneously.

The array of workouts is the same as other models, 9 preset programs and 3 customizable workouts, but the attraction is that the console provides the space for up to 9 user profiles, which is above average.

And the warranty is more than tempting. Lifetime for frame and motor, 5 years for parts and electronics and 2 years for in-home labor make this machine a keeper.

This is obviously a machine built to last. But, the same features you have on a Schwinn 860 which costs less.
