iFit treadmills are becoming much more popular with buyers. What is iFit?
iFit comes in 2 different forms today - iFit card readers built into the treadmill console and iFit LIVE (the newest form of iFit that is being put on some of the newer Nordic Track and Proform models) where you can connect your treadmill to the Internet using the WiFi in your home.
How It Works - iFit Cards:
iFit workout cards offer 8 weeks of personal trainer designed workouts (per card). Each card has a specific goal like weight loss, aerobic fitness improvement, etc.
You insert the card directly into the treadmill's console and the program will automatically adjust your speed and incline to fit the workout's goals.
The voice of a personal trainer talks to you through the speakers, guiding you through the workout.
So when you go to workout you just slip the iFit card into the treadmill console. The treadmill remembers where you left off and stars the next iFit workout.
How It Works - iFit LIVE:
iFit LIVE gives you even more tools than the cards. iFit Live is the newest workout WiFi technology the ICON is adding to their Nordic Track and Proform models.
If you have wireless Internet in your home you can connect your treadmill to the Internet. It's powered by Googlemaps and Google terrain so that you can run or walk different trails all over the world.
You can customize and download your own workout programs and workout with Jillian Michaels from 'The Biggest Loser' - where she coaches you through your workout.
You can also race against your Facebook friends, track your activity and nutrition online and even download new daily workouts.
Not all Nordic Track or Proform treadmills currently have this option however so be sure to confirm before you buy that this is an option.
