To ask for your treadmill recommendations?
(9 Posts)Living in a v large bedroom in a flatshare right now, and would be keen to get a treadmill to encourage me to exercise more. Anyone have any good recommendations? I would buy a sound reducing mat too to lessen noise/disturbance. Would also appreciate advice on whether this is feasible! (Or I can just join a gym!)
Budget max. 350 or so
I wouldn't bother with a treadmill- you can pop out for a quick run.I'd get one of those cross trainer things If you've not run before this would be better for you as you would be less impact and likelihood of injury- oh and it wouldn't make as much noise as a treadmill!
Are you on the ground floor? I have one that cost £800 or £900 and I wouldn't like anything more flimsy. And i make a right noise on it, I'd be worried in a flat!
oops- excuse the missing punctuation; my keyboard is dodgy!
I bought a Nordic one for just under £1k. It's fine, but I wouldn't want anything flimsier (though I'm a hefalump). Maybe try a cross trainer? A skipping rope gives an incredible workout for a tiny price (but hard!).
I have just bought a spinning bike - quiet and really sturdy. Would def recommend - and not as bulky as a treadmill
I'm sure I've seen somewhere where you can rent gym equipment so that you can try it out and decide if you want to buy it.
If you're on a budget, I have noticed that the bigger kinds of charity shop that sell large furniture have gluts of treadmills around February. Just saying...
