"For £200, you're probably better off just running outdoors. " Dunno there seems to be some decent ones about! The ones that go into thousands are industrial ones for heavy use! I'll only be doing 5k per day! | |||

"I've got a treadmill - it's in the garage. Haven't used it for years. I prefer the outdoors myself but it depends on what you want it to do. If it is just a belt that can speed up and slow down then £200 should be plenty" You selling yours lol? | |||

"This fat ass has decided to buy a treadmill, I enjoy running and I'll see it as an investment however... From 1 fat ass o another I have simple questions lol - where should I buy one? - budget about 200 or less (better) - can I keep it outside - how often do you use yours Thanks y'all" We have had three or four of these and failed to learn our lesson. The budget treadmills are frankly garbage. They are just not sturdy or heavy enough even for running (just 5k) especially every day. You might be better looking for a used ex gym stock machine as they are truly made for purpose. As for using it outside..... Rain.... Electricity? That aside, they are all designed for indoor use and you may find component parts in the rollers and motor rusting in damp, cool air. | |||

"When budget gyms cost 15 quid a month with no tie-in there's not much point paying hundreds of pounds for a treadmill " Sometimes it's a time issue I bought mine because I work 12 hours a day on a 7 day rolling rota and I don't drive, the nearest gym to me in about a 40 min walk so that's 1 hour and 20 mins to start with, so an hour at the gym is actually about 2 and a half hours by the time you have showered and changed etc when you have been at work for 12 hours and have to be back up at 5am that's a big chunk out of your day, in that time I can walk the dogs and use the treadmill, kill two birds with one stone ![]() | |||

"I use mine 6 days a week, 45 minutes per session. I keep it in my garden shed with a dehumidifier. Buy a good quality , sturdy model, with internal fans to keep you cool....try eBay or Gumtree or Friday Free Ads.(Mine is a Nordic...cost £500 second hand). I also have a TV and VHS recorder in the shed and tape documentaries with sub titles to alleviate the boredom...along with my iPod. Good luck. " This is the secret, get on you can rest a tablet on so watch a 1 hour episode of a series while you work out. The average British person spends 3.7 hours a day watching TV (more on weekends) and then claims they have no time to exercise ![]() | |||

"http://www.tesco.com/direct/confidence-power-trac-pro-motorised-electric-treadmill-with-incline-white/480-5994.prd?skuId=480-5994 I think I've found one? The reason for doing it at home is convenience, luxury to just go at my own pace and without prying eyes lol I'll be more motivated in my garage with my music blurring lol " That look like it's designed for nothing more than walking on | |||
