I'm considering a treadmill
I'm considering buying a treadmill. I hate treadmills. But the wife wants one so the smart money says we'll end up with one.
I need to query the CP brain trust regarding the treadmill products out there. I'm looking for one that I (she) can move pretty easily. Don't want it to cost a fortune but I also don't want to end up with a pile of **** either. I may use it from time to time, and I'm enormous, so how big of a deck should I get? What kind of brands or features should I look for/avoid? TIA |

If you want to save money why not just buy a pair of nice walking shoes and stroll the block?

Really, for people who live in the midwest who want to run or walk, investing in a treadmill or club is a good idea. It's not like California. We have ice outside to worry about. |

I live in the midwest and you can probably count the days with 1 hand where you don't want to be outside in the winter. It's been like that for a looooooooooooong time now.

I recommend the BowFlex Treadclimber. Mainly because the redhead in the commercial is hawt and has a great ass.

probably good advice, thanks. Quote:
And if we get it bought, and she doesn't use it (particularly if it costs a ****ing grand). Don't ask where she is or why there is a fresh hole dug in the back 40. |

yeah, not gonna happen. Treadmills aren't designed to be moved around all the time. They are big and they are heavy. They are meant to stay in one location unless you are moving it for lengthy storage. Mine isn't even that big but it is heavy as hell and I dread when I do move it.

http://www.intellicast.com/Local/Wea...ation=USKS0530 Tuesday is the last day I'd want to be outside. The high after that is 51 and there isn't a day the wind is going to be below 10 MPH. That's goddamn cold. And she gets home at 6, an hour after it gets dark. It gets damn cold running in 25 degree weather. |

Look for one that will transition well to a coat rack, because that's what it will be used for.
