Any treadmill users out there?

Hi

Do any of your use a treadmill at home?

I have a very nice treadmill that is sadly almost never used. That's probably typical.

Good. Don't use the treadmill. Save your joints.

I have a very nice treadmill and love it. It inclines and everything. I want to start using it up to 3-4 times a week just never have time! I love working out and feel gross when I dont!

I have a very nice treadmill with "soft step"; it's not as hard on my joints as walking/running on pavement outside.

It has incline and it also has arm handles, but I don't use them much. I just pump my arms on my own; that seems more natural.

I use my treadmill at least 3 times a week and I love it. I would feel guilty not to use it, after the way I begged my husband to buy it for me. It's nice to not have to be out in muggy, 100 degree weather walking in the summer, and nice on icy cold days in the winter.

I can listen to any music I want and don't necessarily have to use headphones, either.

I tend to use a treadmill whenever I'm in the gym. That is to say, I use a treadmill once every six months or so...

I am thinking of buying one, but sounds like it might end up idle..

I used the treadmill at the gym for maybe 20 minutes twice a week. It hurt and I was usually bored.

THEN...

Gold's gym started up a CardioCinima where they put a different assortment of cardio machines in a room with a small movie theater size screen and show movies. I am a HUGE fan. On a good action movie I can easily go 50 minutes on the treadmill or at least 40 minutes with another 15 on an eleptical. I am now on it three times a week averaging around 40 minutes. If they are showing a chic flic I usually can't go more then 20 to 25 minutes and that will bring down the average. They show the same movie over and over, with one movie before 8pm and another after. They now have a weekly schedule so I can plan which days I will do cardio and which I will lift weights.

Changed my life.

I faithfully use my treadmill. I use it one hour, daily. It has a tv screen that you can hook your Satellite Dish up to so you can watch your favorite TV programs. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!

I'm more bored on weight machines and such than I am on a treadmill. I enjoy my treadmill. But everyone is different.
