Workout Programs

The LS13.0T is equipped with 14 pre-defined workout programs, including classics like speed, 5k/10k, weight loss and rolling hills.

Consumers will find plenty to be satisfied with the pre-defined programs, yet the advanced heart rate training is really special.

When you buy the LS13.0T the treadmill comes with a chest strap and embedded heart rate receiver that simply makes optimized training easier.

The treadmill also keeps you comfort with COOLfit cooling fans and MaxComfort belt that is easier on your joints.

Treadmill Features

Like the LS10.0T, the Livetrack Interactive program is the hottest feature on the LiveStrong LS13.0T.

Livetrack allows you to insert an USB device (included with purchase) into the console, exercise, and, later, monitor exercise results.

Once the USB is connected to your computer, your workout information is updated to Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.com. Here you can also download exclusive new, entirely free programmed workouts from Peter Park, Lance Armstrong’s personal strength and conditioning coach.

Aside from Livetrack, it’s always nice to have an iPod dock and built-in speakers, two luxury features you will find on the LiveStrong LS13.0T.

Lastly, the LS13.0T extra long, 60-inch belt is ideal for those that run at higher speeds and/or have longer strides.

LiveStrong’s “LIFETIME” guarantee includes:

- Frame: Lifetime
- Motor: Lifetime
- Parts: 5 Years
- Labor: 2 Years

Conclusion
