Bought myself a treadmill

  • It was my grandpa's that he bought after his last knee replacement. He is going to be going into a nursing home soon so he needs to get rid of it and needs the money as well.

    I am excited. I took all the kids to the school track/football field today and walked 3/4 of a mile. And while that was nice, there were some high schoolers there who were practicing for baseball, and I didn't feel comfortable.

    My brother in law and nephew will be bringing it over later today. Cant wait!!
  • Congratulations! I am hoping to get an exercise bike for christmas. I definitely don't feel like working out in public.
  • Congrats!!! I know it must be exciting. I can't wait until I get myself one or an elliptical. I don't want to exercise in public. I feel more comfortable at home
  • How exciting. Keep us posted as to how you are enjoying it.
  • I just bought my first treadmill ever a few weeks ago and I love it!

    I was using a local park to walk in. With the treadmill, it's great not to have to worry about how you look, or what the weather is or what time it is. I HAVE walked in the rain a number of times which sucked! I won't have to do that anymore.

    Also, the incline on the treadmill is great to get my heart going and break a really good sweat. I bought mine brand new and will be paying for it over the next 12 months, but to me - so worth it!
  • I would love an elliptical because it is easier on the knees.
  • Hmmm, I've never been on one of those before. Didn't even think of it as an option. My last trip to a gym was in the 90s and I don't remember them..ha!

    Also, in the back of my mind is the ultimate goal of running! Which I can't remember doing since middle school. This treadmill is gonna be my buddy!
