Max, Possibly the tread mill was not properly set up. Usually, one of the rollers is on a pivot and can be adjusted in or out to make the belt track straight. I saw a belt get shredded on a brand new tread mill at the gym because they hadn't adjusted it after installing it.
Having that incline really helps to get the heart rate up. I am not sure of the make and model we have at our gym, but the buttons are slightly raised so that you can easily feel them. I can't set all the fancy shmancy programming, but I can start it, increase and decrease the speed and incline, and stop it. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
