im down to 329, i want to buy a treadmill but most have limits of 250lbs, iv found a couple on craigslist for a decent price with weight limits of 300lbs, do you think that extra 29lbs will break it?

Thanks!
Brian

    For <$130 you can get fitted for running shoes and head outside. Can't break the road ;)

    If you are only walking on it (not running) it'll be fine. When a person runs their foot hits the ground with force several times their body weight. If a 300 lb person can run on it then a 330 lb person can walk on it.

    That makes sense.
