| Anyone here use a Treadmill to help stay in shape during the winter? If so any features that are must have? My wife has been thinking of getting one. TIA zeekh |
| I bought my wife and her sister a club membership but they decided to refund it as they would not be able to take full advantaqge of it. My wife suggested a treadmill in place of the club so I bought her a very nice one. I placed it in the den so it would be near where she usually is in the house and be handy to jump on. She did not like it there and had me lug it upstairs to the game room. This was one year ago. I placed a book on top of it with the treadmill in the folded up position. The book is still there with the treadmill not having been touched in a year. |

Get a gym membership instead. See that one person's post about the equipment never having been used. My dad bought a NordicTrack back in the late 80s or early 90s and used it maybe 5 times. At least at the gym, you have other people around you to motivate you and there's usually a good offering of equipment other than just treadmills. Additionally, you both can go to workout at the same time and you can let yourself be caught checking out the hot chicks, so your wife knows she'll need to keep herself in shape. If she refuses the gym membership then you're going to have a fatass for a wife. Good luck! |
Actually I'm the fat ass. Wifey still looks great |
I recently picked a a $1000 treadmill from Sport's Authority for $325. (Floor model, on clearance.) There are deals out there if you look. |
