"Pro-Form 530si" Treadmill: Keeping in Shape at Turtle Nest Inn
In addition to swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, walking the beach from the Inn, and an excellent road for jogging (Beach Bay Road, only about a mile and a half away), we've just installed a treadmill in our poolhouse for guests' use. While these other forms of exercise are all free, including the loan of snorkel gear, there is a charge for this latest piece of equipment. At CI$25 for a full week (or CI$5 per day), we'll give you a key to the treadmill, and you can use it as much as you like. This is less costly than a one-week membership at any of the island's fitness centres, doesn't involve the hassle of getting to them, and is much more flexible. If staying at the Inn for more than seven nights, you can subscribe for a week, and choose to use the treadmill any seven days during your stay.
The "Pro-Form" 530si is equipped with a two-speed fan, a towel rack, a water bottle holder and an accessory tray -- and you can open a couple of windows in the poolhouse for a cross breeze. You can close the poolhouse door and enjoy an excellent form of cardiovascular exercise in comfort, convenience and privacy. Our treadmill is based on advanced technology, and offers an impressive array of features to make your workouts more enjoyable and effective. The padded walking platform, designed for maximum comfort, can be inclined from 0 to 10%, and the electronic, eye-level console includes a speed control from 0 to 10MPH. It also includes four resettable monitor displays showing the total time you've been on the belt, the approximate number of calories you've burned, the speed of the belt, and the total distance you've walked or run (in miles). There are also a number of features to insure your safety.
A relaxing and enjoyable vacation usually involves eating a little more than usual, especially on Grand Cayman with its extensive choice of fine dining spots. Our treadmill will allow you to compensate by staying on target with your workouts, and accomplishing your fitness goals. And, to help you plan your exercise programme while at the Inn, you'll find posted on the poolhouse wall a series of "Conditioning Guidelines" for achieving the desired results at the proper intensity. These guidelines deal with fat burning, aerobic exercise, athletic conditioning, measuring your heart rate, warm-up phase, cardiovascular phase, cool-down phase, and the correct form for a number of suggested, basic stretches.
