I'd rather scramble up rocks (40% incline equivalent) in the bush land. Oh boy, those rocks are killers and work wonders for arms!

I completely agree that outdoors exercise beats all other types!! That is when I find I will dig deeper than I thought I could and take myself to the next level !! That's one of the biggest downsides to my daily routine. Our location is less than desirable, but it is what it is, and for now I just have to be creative in what I do at home. Makes looking forward to the weekend and getting out even more sweet.
I got lucky and my boyfriend is very mechanical and found me a great treadmill (Nordictrack C1500) on Craigslist for free because it didn't work anymore. What it needed was a new circuit panel ($200.00 US) and now works beautifully. Original price on the machine was about $1,200.00 US. He replaced the belt too : )
