While jogging on a treadmill, most people either listen to music or watch television. But Johnson Health Tech North America (JHTNA) has introduced new functionality to treadmills, equipping them with the Passport Media Player featuring Virtual Active Technology. The new treadmills deliver a high-definition workout experience designed to enhance the cardio workout of serious runners. By connecting to the user's home entertainment system, Passport displays workout data on-screen while taking the runner on a journey. Each treadmill comes equipped with two programs — the American Southwest and Northern Italy. Individual trails include the Las Vegas Strip, Grand Canyon, Venetian cityscape, Italian countryside and more. Additional programs are available for purchase online. By means of "equipment interactivity," Passport enables the audio/visual technology to communicate wirelessly and match the speed and elevation between the screen and treadmill. The technology has already been tested at gyms around the world and is now being offered on the AFG 7.1 AT treadmill and the LIVESTRONG LSPRO2 treadmill.
