    Anyone own a Treadmill?

    If so what brand do you have and are you happy with it? I was thinking of taking a room here in the house and throwing tv, stereo and treadmill in it and getting in there and walking for a little while everday and doing thinking and stuff like that.

    I already take walks but I thought a treadmill might be cool, so let me know what you've got.

      I own one. Hell if I can remember the brand though. I spilled gravy on the name plate.

      What I can tell you is that it is the best damn thing I ever did buy! I set it up next to my Lay-Z-Boy and put the fridge on the other end of it. Now when I want a sammich...I just turn the sucker on and it brings the fridge to me!

      I am thinking of getting another one to put the Lay-Z-Boy on so that I don't have to walk to the shitter.

      I hope this helps.

              Nice idea, I think I'll just sit a pizza in front of it and then get on and walk like I'm trying to get the pizza instead, maybe that will work better for me, but if that fails I'll give your idea a shot.

                                          I have one I picked for about $400. It was rated high on Consumer Reports and does everything I need it to do I think it's Image or something similar.

                                                      We have a Reebok that we have had for about 1.5 years, and it's still going strong. The wife uses it every other day for about 30 minutes, I'm only on it about twice a week... I hate cardio!

                                                      Anyway, some things to consider are the surface area of the tredmill, the HP rating and how much the tredmill absorbs impact just in case you decide to run on it later down the road!

                                                                                          Also, less important but a nice luxury having a super quiet model. It really makes listening to the radio while you work out much less annoying to the people you live with. You have to crank it to hear well over some treadmills.

                                                                                          Good luck. Treadmills are the most awesome piece of exercise equipment you could own IMO.

Nice thing is, its totally silent, so you can watch TV without listening to a motor. I do 40 minutes on it, 7 days a week, all the exercise you need.
