By "my", I mean me and my sister - who share a basement - went in on this NordicTrak treadmill. Luckily she did all the research and coordinated the delivery and assembly and I put up half the money. We got a good deal on it, a total of $550 with installation from Amazon. She wanted one since her new job does not have a workout room like her old one did. I was game for some added exercise/walking when its too cold to do it outside (which realistically in Minnesota is about 5 months of the year). So far Ive used it about 6 times in addition to going to the gym most days. The only issue I have is I am too tall to really get a good run on it - the ceilings are short. It would be perfect if I was about 4 inches shorter! It works good so far. Am excited to continue using it and getting a little bit extra workout in every day. Hope the novelty doesnt wear off any time soon. Lol! Either way, it would make a nice drying rack since its right next to the dryer. Do you have a treadmill or any workout equipment?

Wow that's great. I'd love to have one someday. A friend told me to just watch my favorite tv show while walking on the treadmill so i won't get bored.

Thats a good idea. The hard thing for me is finding a show I am really into. What are your favorite shows? Sometimes a book - a good book that is - is good distraction as well!

Awesome deal! I use to have a treadmill. Don't ask me what happened to it! I plan to get a stationary bike after replacing my stroller.

Nice. Good for you! It was less expensive since I had someone to go halfsies with me on it. As an investment on its own - they are quite pricy!!

When I was dating a guy who worked out a lot I bought myself an exercise bike. I used it maybe 5 times back then and maybe once a year since ugh what a waste of money and pure laziness on my part. Glad you are enjoying this even with the short ceilings not allowing you to run.

Thanks. I fear the same thing will happen to me, like losing motivation.

We have had several treadmills and other exercise equipment. For us they all get old and become clothes hangers, We prefer classes, it keeps us interested and inspired.

I have a treadmill but it's broken now, it's something my brother gave it to me that I failed to take care of. But last year I was able to buy a treadmill bike instead. That's a lot of money for a treadmill. What I bought cost only 50$.

Yes, at home in CT we have an exercise room with a treadmill, bike, free weights and bench, and a punching bag. I use the bike and treadmill on rainy days when I can't go out. We also have a TV and music, too. When I remember, I use the weights.

We had a treadmill but I never used it so we gave it away.

That is my fear as well. I have no excuse not to use it so I am trying to push myself just to walk for about 15 minutes per day or more if I feel like it. We will see though, if the novelty wears off. Oh and hapy Friday to you !!!

We have a total gym but I don't use it. I am going to get my mother a treadmill. The one I am looking at is from Sunny health.
