Im thinking ahead to our brutal winters here in north western Ohio...I very much prefer the summer heat over the winter cold and ICE....Should I just buy a treadmill? (I already have a small weight machine thing and a ball/bands...thinking about the Total Gym as well) or join a gym? I can't decide. :bigsmile:

    I would invest in the treadmill. Both my husband and I have caught the running bug so I know we would both use it pretty regularly. And as a teacher, I know that my schedule won't always allow me to get to a gym during normal people hours, so having a treadmill conveniently in my home would be wonderful!

    Treadmill that has different programs you can use--city/uphill/flat with changing times/intervals and steepness--keeps you from getting bored.
