ProForm 505 CST Review

Healthy eating has become such a part of our society today. More people are concerned with where their food is coming from and whether it will improve or harm to their body. There has been a surge of vegans, vegetarians, lactose-free, and gluten-free people, due to the health benefits.

However, healthy foods alone cannot boost health. Exercise is one of the most important things in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and live longer. It has been proven to be such an integral part to keep your heart strong and your mind alert.

Even though it comes with so many benefits, starting to exercise is incredibly challenging for most people. It requires a new routine, finding what you are going to do, learning what exercises are best and how to do them safely. There are multitudes of options available to you to exercise, that it can be quite the daunting task to make a decision.

On top of that, beginning to work out is a financial investment and you want to make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck! Of course, the first thing you will have to judge is whether to start working out at a gym or if you would rather work out from home.

With long days at work, and also taking care of a family, many choose the latter option. One of the best devices to begin working from home is the treadmill. They are easy to use, provide a fantastic cardio workout, and many come with additional technological features.

They are an investment, however, with many exceeding over $1000. One of the brands on the market today is the ProForm 505 CST Treadmill.

Verdict:

As I stated before, treadmills are a financial investment as they do range over $1000. However, if you find a good one, it can save you a lot of money on gym memberships, and also is much better on your body than running on pavement.

I always recommend for anyone buying a treadmill, or any workout product for that matter, to always go to a store in person to stand on it for yourself. Working out and comfort ability is different depending on your size/weight/goals, and while I do recommend making the actual purchase online, do not buy without standing on the product itself.

All that being said I can fully recommend the ProForm 505 CST Treadmill! First and foremost, it has 18 really fantastic workout applications that will help you on your workout journey.

Unfortunately it does not have any holders for waterbottles, but does come equipped with a port to hook up your iPod. It may not have as many features as some other treadmills on the market, but I did find it to be still a great machine at a cheaper price than a lot of the higher end products.

It also is a fantastic space saver and will be able to fit anywhere in your house for a workout. Treadmills are a fantastic way to enjoy a quick cardio work out that will strengthen your heart, your legs, and enhance your ability to run long distances. I hope you enjoy boosting your health and working out!
