With the model, your dumbells can go from 5 to 52.5 pounds: the 220 model goes from 2.5 to 20 pounds.
3. WIRELESS PEDOMETER TREADMILL—–The horizon WT 950 Wireless Pedometer Treadmill is a great gift idea for walkers who are looking for extra motivation. It gives you “credit” toward your workout for steps you’ve taken all day. Wear the pedometer (included with the treadmill) during the day, then wirelessly transmit the steps you’ve already walked. The treadmill calculates the steps needed to reach your goal and adjusts your workout accordingly.
