Stable and quiet are what most athletes and runners want in a treadmill and you'll find that here with the proform treadmill treadmill. Sturdy construction is a must for those that workout often. This treadmill offers many benefits to the pro and also the beginner.

This article will cover the Proform 540 treadmill, a competitively priced treadmill with some very nice features. The features of the Proform treadmill 540 include a quick speed control feature that responds instantly, yet very smoothly to any speed change that you may make. Simply adjust the QuickSpeed Control to easily and smoothly adjust the rate of the Proform treadmill.

Power incline is another feature of every Proform treadmill, including the Proform 540 model. This is a basic, yet really nice feature to have on an exercise treadmill. Altering the angle of motion relative to gravity's pull, really changes the exact muscle groups that are worked.

With a power incline feature, you can adjust the pitch of the machine with the slide of a level on the control panel in front of the walker. From my own personal experience, increasing the incline can actually make a treadmill workout more comfortable if you have any kind of hip or knee problems. There's something about increasing the angle that takes pressure off of these areas.

Proform treadmills also come with iFit compatibility. This iFit stuff is pretty cool. It really allows you to more fully customize your entire workout program. Instead of having to choose from one of the pre-set workout programs, or having to manually adjust both the elevation and speed of the machine yourself, the iFit system allows you to program much more advanced workout programs, as well as transfer this data from machine to machine and other data systems as well.

With iFit compatibility, you can use your PDA to transfer workout programs and MP3s to the Proform 540 treadmill. This makes working out a lot more fun....
