4. Up 'N Over Reading Rack

I like reading while exercising. This rack slips over the monitor of your treadmill or other cardio exercise machine. It is clear to allow you to see the controls underneath, while securely holding your book or magazine.

5. Treadmill Mat

Save wear and tear on your floor or rug and keep the sweat from soaking in with a treadmill mat to place under your machine. It also dampens the vibrations and noise.
