If you're interested in buying your own treadmill, this video is for you. One important note, not included in the video, is you MAY get away with purchasing from a big box store - IF you only walk on your equipment.


26 October, 2020 Update: Please be careful, when choosing your treadmill. I wish to reiterate that used treadmills MAY be a value...if you do your homework first. Most importantly with the "gently used" variety - Ask if you may try it out for 30 minutes. Yes, I know AWKWARD! The test may mean the difference between a "steal" and a 300 pound clothing hangar.


I generally don't like being too public. Keeping a blog up to date is a bother. However, if you're looking for motivation to use your new treadmill or just work out, visit me at: https://www.facebook.com/Buck-Rogers-2000-404625713422111 There will be NO sales pitches, comparisons with others/myself or criticisms. Perhaps a little incentive for you to get into YOUR routine...it's not much but you probably don't NEED much.

4 May, 2020 Update: I'm getting some requests for treadmill recommendations. Please note that I am unable to accurately assess treadmills I've never evaluated and each one would take at least 6 months to make a comprehensive report... not that I'd have the room. I'll make a wild statement and tell you that anyone who can perhaps isn't really interested in providing you valid information. They're more interested in the incentive for making their claim(s).


A quick "Shout Out" to "Martin C." at Lifefitness customer service. I misplaced my heart rate chest strap to my C7i Lifecycle. He made the process of getting a replacement not only easy, he took a few moments to see if I qualified for a veteran's discount (parts no, equipment sales yes).
