400T
If your workout includes walking or jogging, you may be interested
in improving the
duration of your workout, or your ability to
exercise for longer periods of time without stress. For example, you
may now be able to walk for 2 miles and would like to be able to
walk 4 or more miles for exercise. This kind of exercise is ideal if
you are interested in weight reduction or in maintaining your current
physical condition.
If the goal of your workout is to improve your cardiovascular
system and your ability in sports, you may be interested in the
programs that vary the
intensity of exercise. Some of the
CYBEX programs vary exercise intensity through a process called
interval training . Interval training improves fitness by incorporating
anaerobic with aerobic exercise. Aerobic activity strengthens your
heart and lungs, and anaerobic activity improves muscular
performance.
The 400T Design
All CYBEX treadmills are strong, solid, and well-engineered. The
body of each CYBEX is a welded, one-piece chassis of 12-gauge
(.254 cm thick) steel. The body has no frame nuts and bolts to
shake loose; you won’t hear any rattles or other unnecessary noise
during your workout. Powered by a strong, quiet, and durable 2-
horsepower, continuous duty rated DC motor, the 400T will give
you years of carefree operation with low maintenance.
The CYBEX 400T is safe, comfortable, and easy to use. Its
cushioned handgrips and wide, impact-absorbing running deck
ensure your comfort during a workout. The wide-open front surface
design lets you run or walk forward freely, at any speed or incline.
The handgrips of the 400T are out of the way, yet remain easily
accessible, when and if you need them. Running belt guards
prevent towels or loose clothing from catching at points where the
rollers and belt meet.
Historical Background
The use of treadmills is not new; they actually date back to pre-
Roman times. More recently, William Cubitt, an Englishman, is
credited with the invention of the first modern treadmill, in 1817, as
a device to grind grain.
As a means of personal exercise, however, the use of the treadmill
is relatively new. On-going discoveries of the benefits of this form

Interval training combines aerobic
exercise to strengthen your heart with
anaerobic exercise to improve muscular
performance.
