Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric treadmill to whose console the weight of the operator is automatically sent. The electric treadmill includes an upright frame, a base frame, a base and a rear supporting bar. A console is mounted on the upright frame, and a handrail is fitted to either side thereof. A motor-driven assembly is fitted to the base frame which a continuous belt circles for an in-place rotation. The electric treadmill includes a scale in connection with the console so that the weight parameter of the operator can be automatically fed into the console whereupon an optimal exercise session for the operator is automatically calculated by a built-in program.
