Abstract

A inclinable treadmill assembly includes a treadmill that has a track portion pivotally coupled to a motor portion. The track portion is urgeable into a selected incline with respect to a horizontal plane wherein the track portion is configured to increase or decrease a level of difficulty for a user. The track is rollable at an average speed of approximately 3.5 km/hr to accommodate the average walking speed of a child. A plurality of light emitters is each coupled to the track portion to emit light outwardly from the track portion. An actuator is coupled to the motor portion and the actuator tilts the motor portion and the track portion into a selected incline. A remote control is in wireless electrical communication with the actuator to remotely actuate the actuator to tilt the track portion into the selected incline.
