ABSTRACT:
A treadmill includes an up-right support, a track bed, and a gas spring attached at one end to the up-right support, and at the other end to the track bed. The treadmill further includes a latch attached to the up-right support adapted to connect with the end of the gas spring which is attached to the track bed. The latch may, preferably attach to a rod, which extends from the track bed and is attached to the gas spring. An incline motor attached to a middle portion of a frame retracts or extends a motor tube. This action, rotates an incline bracket connected to the motor tube and to a rear portion of a frame, to lower or raise a set of wheels connected to at the ends of the incline bracket.
