Treadmills

bree1609

So, my mother wants to buy me a treadmill for Christmas because I've always wanted one and because she sees how serious I have been about my weight loss/fitness. What exactly does a manual treadmill do? I don't want my mom to go broke buying this for me and I know manuals are on the lower end of the price range. How effective are they? What kind of workout can I expect from one?

Manual treadmills are awful. Try Googling reviews of different models, and look for a sale.

Try craigslist, consignment stores, and other classifieds in your area.

I'm with those that say that a manual one will just be frustrating and pretty useless.

Good luck with finding one.

Is that like Craigs List? There some like new ones for a fraction of the price. You can look them up and see which versions they are in the sporting stores, or online. In fact, go to the sporting stores and see what they are like so you know what you want. Step on them and try them out!

Go cheap on clothes not on your treadmill. You are going to end up throwing out the clothes anyway when lose weight from using the treadmill.

We bought ours refurbished from Amazon.com. It was a great deal and we've never had an issue with it. We really shopped around though -- I'm with the others, read a lot of reviews before you decide. What a great gift from your mom!

I got mine off Craigs list. It's a place where people post things they want to sell or buy and it's free to post (unlike ebay). You can search specific to an area and they're usually for sale by owner. I got mine for $250 and the lady paid $800 for it and hardly used it. GOOD LUCK!!
