An improved treadmill comprises at track mechanism wherein the rotational speed of the tread belt is automatically controlled to suit the physical condition of the user, and a slope adjusting mechanism is associated with the track mechanism to enable the track mechanism to operate at a slope. The treadmill further comprises a controller having a microprocessor formed therein for inputting control data, processing and recording operation status data, and outputting/displaying those stored data. There are ports of sensors to collect various exercise data such as speed, distance, slope, pulse rate, duration, etc. The controller then enables the treadmill to operate in accordance with a predetermined sequence of functions and to adapt to the condition of the user, while at the same time the controller stores/displays exercise data, such as the pulse rate, pace, number of steps taken, heat dissipated, etc.
