Super Stoked! Getting a free treadmill!
So far, I've been using the game, Walk it Out with my Wii balance board. it's a great way to start, but already, after almost 4 weeks, I've had to eliminate all song with less than 130 bpm, and probably should eliminate all under 145. To make it harder, I could ACTUALLY walk (using the nunchuck and wiimote). So, I started to look on craigslist for a secondhand one.
Then, today, a friend of mine said that she was just given a brand new treadmill (nothing fancy, a workhorse, yet highly rated) from a mutual friend of ours when she moved. She bought it to get fit and lose weight, but then her physician told her not to use it, so it's basically unused. My friend just doesn't have room for it, so is asking if I would like it. A big YES!!!!
I don't know details yet of what type, but it's FREE and works properly, so WHO CARES?
So, So excited. I'm using walking and soon, aerobics to lose weight. I'll add some strength training after that. A person can always walk and I've never met an overweight daily walker! Walking outside is better, of coruse, but when it's winter or too hot, options are great.
Yay!!! Just had to share!
