Was thinking about buying a treadmill when my income tax comes in.
Should I stick with that or is there something better for weight loss?

Please help!

    What do you enjoy doing - really LOVE doing?

    IF you love walking or running, buy the treadmill.

    IF you love riding a bike - buy an exercise bicycle.

    IF you love the elliptical at the gym - buy an elliptical.

    **Get what YOU LOVE TO DO - so you won't get bored doing it - and you'll use the heck out of it!

    I cannot recommend enough getting a weight set and trying out Stronglifts 5x5!

    There is a great group on here and I can send you an invite if you like!

    Get a treadmill. Make sure it has an incline feature on it. Inclines allow for much greater flexibility and resistance. You can melt significant amounts of fat just walking at 2.5-2.8mph on 2/3 or max incline.

    My second choice would be a great climber but if you're looking for price, treadmills are super but again, MUST have incline!
