Equipment recommendations?
I am thinking of investing in my very first piece of fitness equipment. I can say for sure it won't be an elliptical. It will be a treadmill of some sort. Possibly an incline trainer?

C25K - can I do it?
So, I've been a member of this site for a while, and have seen many posts re: couch to 5K. I've always wondered what it was, and finally did a google search. I'm definitely interested in this program, but am wondering how reasonable it is for me to try. I currently weigh 287 lbs, am 31 years old, I walk for 60 minutes four…
