I cannot wait until I get it here. It is just a manual one because it was cheaper. my husband got a credit line with an online store and he let me get one and he is getting a massage heated chair for his bad back and neck from a car wreck so we will be in much better shape soon!! I am going to set my treadmill up in the living room so I can run whenever I watch tv. instead of sitting and snacking. Everytime I get to where I want a snack I will run instead.

hey good for you! i wish i had the money and the space for one. i think it would be good for exercise. my parents have one but they hardly ever use it. oh well, i live in a house with a ton of stairs, i guess that will have to do.

We really do not have the room , but I am going to move my computer desk into my sewing / bedroom and then set the treadmill where it was in the living room. Our last house had stairs too and I would run up and down them for exercise. That worked great.

I saw one on the Doctors show that was a treadmill platform that you could put your computer on a platform at the front and work on the computer while you're walking -nice, but very expensive.

that would be awesome. I would never get off of it if I could use my computer.

We have been thinking about getting one too. Both of us need to get moving and I know if we had one my hubby would use it at home. It's just a matter of finding one at the best price LOL

I think it is a good idea to keep it in the living room . I use to have a treadmill in my living room and would walk on it everyday. I stayed in good shape and never felt like I was overweight. If I splurged, I would just get on the treadmill longer. Then it ended up breaking. Now we have a new treadmill, but in a new house. there is no room for it in my living room, so it is in the basement. I always think I will get on it tonight, but never do:(

yeah that is one reason I am putting it in the living room - so I see it every day and use it. I will have no excuse. I can watch my shows while walking or running and not have any reason not to use it.

Well the treadmill is a good type of exercise and is realy practical when it is raining and you cannot go to walk outside. I have an air walker but I think the treadmil burns more calories, however I do aerobics at home I have some dvds, however it is good that you keep in shape you feel less stressed and really healthy.

Wow I wish I could get one of these, I know that I would use it a lot, it's just the issue about the money and the space which makes me think there's not much point in buying one.
