We are older and just want to walk on it, we don't want to use the programs, can you just use it manually by just setting speed/(&amp; checking distance)?

Yes. Very simple manual operation on this one. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but is well built. Note that the walking/running deck is very solid. A lot of treadmills in this price range have softer decks. This one is built sturdy and can take a hammering while running. If you like the softer/spongier feel of some treadmills for walking, you might consider another brand. Good luck!

Yes, you can most certainly set your own stride length. I hope you didn't throw away the instructions. (I'd have to go to my stash of those things to help you out.) Once you measure the length you are instructed to walk, use your own stride length and set the pedometer for the number of steps. If I remember correctly you can set miles or at least convert your steps to miles using the formula provided.

Yes you can....there are settings to steup or step down depending on where you use it..

It certainly hasn't for me. In the past I've used pedometers and been highly annoyed that I accumulated hundreds of steps simply sitting down and watching TV. This one seems as accurate as I've ever seen. You may get a few steps registered while driving, but not many at all.

You can walk, but it will be very hard when you try to speed up. In other words it is designed for an average walking. that's it.

No, just walking. If used for dancing uYou have to reset your step distance, which is easy enough.

If you are asking about the speed that you can set you can set it at half mph such as 5.5 or just keep it at whole numbers. Did that answer your question?

You can set the distance that it will activate. You use a button & just turn it for closer or farther activation.

Yes . . . my son assures me that you can use the Pokewalker all by itself without Nintendo or Pokémon games as a pedometer.

Yes, set up your stride in inches or centimeter. I chose mine in inches, the distance walked will be displayed in miles.

I don't know about a highest speed. It will go as fast as you can walk. My son, aged 28, can work up a sweat on it and so can I, aged 62. It is manual meaning your stride sets the speed.

It's hard to answer that in our measurements , it's an appropriate speed , not too fast and not too slow. Your not held up by it for more than 5 seconds. Best answer would be , the speed would be about the same as a normal person walks

I do not believe so; it is very basic and easy to use. Just walk and it counts the steps. Hope this information helps you make a decision.

I am not sure. I tried it once and started to fast and was forced to run-no a good thing-and pushed stop. I have been using manual since. I do know that if you push the speed on the bar the machine goes there NOW. I use the arrows to ajust the speed. I think the best is just to start at basic speed and see where the program goes. The book does not explain the differences, just that they are pre set.

If you want you have the option to not choose a program and just set the speed and incline. As you walk you can track your distance, time, and heart rate.

I set it up for my mom very easily. I believe there is a menu button and it will bring up all the info you need. I need to look at it again to be sure. She is 22 miles away so I can not look at it right now.
