    I would be lost without my treadmill. I don't use it much in the warm weather months because I walk/run outside. But for the winter and rainy days it's a must. I am on my treadmill at least 5 days a week minimum but really go for 6 days and then try to add in a couple dvd workouts a couple days a week. If you decide to buy one just do your research...cheaper isn't always better.

    Good luck!

    A treadmill is good, if you can afford it. I just bought one recently and I love having the convenience of not having to go to the gym to do cardio. Do you live in an area where you can walk outside? You could take a thirty or forty minute walk or easy jog outside. It's a lot cheaper and you'd be getting some fresh air. Also, check your tv stations to see if you get an exercise channel. In my area we have On Demand and we can get some Jillian Michaels workouts and others on tv. Good luck with whatever you do.

    I use the tredmill, but I didn't buy it. Look, in today's economy, I'm just not going to fork out the investment, even if it is justified. My office has a decent one and I use it. If I didn't have that, I'd be hittin' the road for a nice long walk and tell myslef, I love nature. :)

    I love walking jogging and running but I hate treadmills. FInd a large space to use instead- like a mall in the early mornings. You'd be shocked at how many people do that. And it's frrrrrrreeeee.

    I have a treadmill and a Wii Fit. My hubby bought me the Wii Fit and I find it pretty fun, but it takes way too long to get a decent work out in, but is great for strength training/balance exercises/etc. I bought my treadmill 4 weeks ago (prior to that I HATED exercise!!!). I purchased it on sale for $399, it folds up and is exactly what I needed. Since I got it I have been doing 45 min 6 days a week. And for me the best part is that there are no excuses....My treadmill is right there to use so I feel guilty if I think about not using!!! Keeps me accountable!

    There are lots of ways to get really good cardio without a treadmill...TurboJam, Hip Hop Abs, Ashtanga Yoga....and then when it warms up you can always go outside.

    A treadmill is the best way to lose the weight.... You have to buy a good one that will incline.. This will work ya a little harder. But if you wont use it , don't buy it. I will even use it in the summer when to temp gets to high... Don't forget to push as hard as you can... Good luck :drinker:
