I would love to have one so I can get more exercise but I`m afraid I would not use it. I once bought a nordictrack exercise bike and hardly ever used it. I ended up selling it on ebay.

Well I bought one at Sear's and I paid for it over the phone- It was the last day of the sale and I knew I couldn't get to the store in time.. Then I never picked it up- How dumb! So they credited my card back. I do use a treadmill all the time. My mom has one and she doesn't use it much-- I stop there after work. In the spring, summer, and Fall we walk outside. I live in the country so there is lots of great things to look at... so I was pretty sure that my treadmill would get little to no use. I use my moms in the winter only.

wow! that is great that they credited your card back. I guess its a good thing that you didn`t buy it since you can use your moms. thanks for your response.

I don't have one. I know if I did, after I used it a couple of times, I wouldn't anymore. I think that I am allergic to exercise. :)

As you get older, exercising is just so important, so I've made up my mind to start cycling, and walking. Both things I do love and I know since I am passionate about both I will follow thru with it. Now the only problem is allocating a set daily time to do these. Wish me luck...SS

We bought a treadmill a few years ago and used it every day. If you make yourself use it, it is a great investment. However, ours quit working so we found a deal at Walmart and purchased an elliptical to replace the treadmill. I burn much faster now and it is lower impact than a treadmill. Check your local Walmart, they are runnning some great sales on all kinds of exercise equipment. Their deals were so good that we also bought an exercise bike and both pieces cost less than half of what we paid for the treadmill.

My mom bought a treadmill. None of us ever use it. Well we use it for short periods of a time and then it goes back to collecting dust again.
