Abstract

A treadmill may include: a platform; at least one pulley attached to the platform; a sliding surface of the platform; a running belt straddle portion of the sliding surface; a running belt surrounding the pulley and the sliding surface, the running belt having at least one side edge; and a belt guide incorporated into the platform. The belt guide includes a textured portion of the sliding surface aligned with and spaced from the side edges of the running belt when the running belt is fully positioned within the running belt straddle portion. When the textured portion comes into contact with the running belt due to misalignment of the running belt with the running belt straddle portion, the running belt and textured portion together produce a misalignment sound audible to the user as the running belt moves against the sliding surface .

Description

Background technique [0001] Aerobic exercise is a popular form of exercise that improves cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and providing other benefits to the body. Aerobic exercise usually involves prolonged periods of low-intensity physical activity. Normally, the human body can adequately supply enough oxygen to meet the body's needs at the intensity levels involved in aerobic exercise. Popular forms of aerobic exercise include running, jogging, swimming and cycling, among other activities. In contrast, anaerobic exercise usually involves high-intensity exercise for short periods of time. Popular forms of anaerobic exercise include strength training and short-distance running. [0002] Many people choose to do aerobic exercise indoors, such as at a gym or in their home. Typically, users perform aerobic training indoors using an aerobic exercise machine. One type of aerobic exercise machine is a treadmill, which is a machine with a running deck attached t...
