The 590S is one of a series of treadmills in the XP line. The XP series, made by ProForm, is exclusively sold through Sears department stores. The XP 590S has a fold-away design to save valuable floor space when not in use. It offers a manual and program mode, as well as iFit technology, for plenty of variety in your workouts.
Design
The XP 590S treadmill has a powerful 2.75 horsepower motor. It has a maximum user weight capacity of 300 lbs. Treadmill-ratings-reviews.com notes that the impact to your joints from running on a treadmill is 2.5 times your body weight. The running deck of the XP 590S is cushioned to lessen this stress. The running area is 19 inches wide and 55 inches long.
Program Features
The XP 590S offers several programming options. With the manual mode, you control the incline and speed settings. Choose one of the six preset workout programs and the XP 590S automatically adjusts the incline and speed settings for you. Connect the treadmill to your computer, CD player or MP3 player to access more workout options. Purchase workout MP3s and CDs separately, or download workouts from iFit.com. These programs control the speed and incline of the treadmill while a virtual personal trainer guides you through the workout.
Intensity Options
Treadmills offer two ways for you to increase the difficulty of your workout: incline and speed. The XP 590S supports speeds up to 10 mph and an incline up to 10 percent. The console features quick-set speed buttons. Press any of the 10 buttons to quickly set your speed. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the console to easily adjust the incline ramp.
Workout Guidelines
The American College of Sports Medicine, in partnership with the American Heart Association, released new physical activity guidelines in 2007. The guidelines recommend healthy adults under age 65 perform moderately intense cardio, 30 minutes per day, five days per week or vigorously intense cardio, 20 minutes per day, three days per week. Use the variety of programming options on the ProForm XP 590S to meet these guidelines.
