Exercise on a Treadmill?

After sharing my bedroom with a treadmill for about five years I finally admitted that I do not use it, and moved it to the garage. Now that is not an admission that I don't exercise. About ten years ago I had a first one and found it to be the one and only time that I was able to make a regular exercise routine happen. It worked out so great to just roll out of bed and get on for 20-30 min. It was before the shower and before the day started. I found that having it over was so much better than when life started getting in the way - which it does every single day. Plus I will find any excuse not to exercise. Getting to a gym starts to seem like so much time! I found tha****ching one half hour T.V. or listening to music made it not too bad of a form of exercise. The reason the treadmill I have now has BARELY been used is that about the time I got it my arthritis in my knees just got too bad for any walking exercise. I hoped once I got the weight off maybe I would be able to resume that form of exercise, but I have found it still aggrevates it too much. Losing the weight has made a HUGE difference on my knees, but I have found that I am much better off swimming laps. I know I have a knee replacement in my future. If anyone wants the treadmill let me know. I have no idea if anyone will be interested, but if so I will give it to the first one I hear from. It works fine as far as I know. If you are someone that is worried that you are too heavy for the weight limit, don't let that stop you. I used my first one when I was 300 pounds and it worked fine. I figure if being too heavy burns it out, it doesn't matter if you didn't pay for it. Let me know soon, cause my husband is nagging me to have a garage sale. He's using the treadmill in front of his workbench as a weapon to make me have one. Patty

Patty, I could sure use the treadmill since I have had heart problems since surgery. Let me know. Tee

Hi Tee, I will give you a call and see if we can work out some logistics. Patty

Oh good - I hope Tee is able to get it and use it. I would love to have one someday too but I have a feeling it would become a clothes hanger as well. And my DH would kill me. Then he would put it on freecycle. Dina
