I am looking to purchase a treadmill so I can start excerise and one that I can use for the long term, I think it will be my BFF for a very long time. Any suggestions??

I wish I could recall the name of the one a friend of mine has, it is great because it offers built in workouts that include different speeds, different inclines, and some that even have you get off and do some other activities then back on the treadmill. Also get one with a built in fan, as you will need it! LOL. I believe the one my friend has is made by goldsgym and she bought it at wal mart for about $600 or so. A bit pricey, but has awesome programmed workouts and accessories.

Sample several before you make any decisions.  In the meantime, find other ways to walk, around the block, up and down the stairs at home, around the hallways at the mall, just leave your pocketbook at home, lol.

Check out the local stores for deals, sometimes even the for sale ads in your local newspaper.  I have a Wii at home, would you think that I use it?, not as often as I wish I did.  I go to the local gym, a couple of blocks away for the treadmill and other cardio equipment.  Also have access to strength training things there.  It is possible to do all the things available at the gym without going to a gym, just takes dedication and work.  I had an elyptical machine, years ago that made a great clothes rack.  Now, thinking about getting another one, with the intention of using it daily.  Wishing you the best of luck in getting a treadmill that you will love.  Let us know what your find.  Hugs
