Visited My Treadmill Again

Went outside for a little while. The sun is still not shining. I had a light jacket on. Looked at some of my plants. A little green is starting to pop up in the garden. The birds are singing. The cats are napping. Typical day. Came inside and the treadmill kept calling my name. It does that every day. I try to answer on most days. I did today for a few minutes. I have a step counter on my phone to keep track. Keep moving has always been the key to a better life. Less pain and keeps your mind busy for a few minutes. I am trying every day to do just that. The treadmill works for me, especially on the rainy and cold days.

I wish I had a treadmill. I had a huge one about 20 years ago and loved it.

@CarolDM Is a manual one hard to use compared to an electric one?

I've discovered I can read on the treadmill. I had a lot of trouble staying on it for too long as I'd get so bored but now I read. Probably I should put it in front of the TV. lol

@CarolDM Ours faces a window but I don't see too many birds out that way. Maybe we need another birdbath to watch.

I have not walked for 2 days now because I stopped going to the nearby market. We need the exercise or physical activity. We do not have a treadmill here and my recourse is to walk around.

I have a small treadmill that folds up to use when I can't get outside.

@CarolDM that is good since you can get energy when you need it. Here, I just tend the garden and walk back and forth to the front yard and backyard. Yesterday I climbed the tree to harvest mangoes.

It is a manual treadmill and I can see outside while walking. No sun but no rain right now.

@CarolDM I have one. Unfortunately, I don't have room for it here, so it's in the basement at my son's. Due to a lack of outlets in the basement, it's taking up room.

Sounds like spring is trying to arrive. And that is great about the treadmill. I really should get back to my workouts.

I am not good at treadmills because I cannot stand on something that is moving and walk with it. We do have an elliptical though and I should use it more often. It is good to have that little bit of exercise even if it is just for a few minutes!

This is a manual one that you can easily go at your own pace and stop when you want.

We have a treadmill but neither of us can use it. Wish I could get rid of it. It takes up half of one of the bedrooms.
