After some research and looking around, checking out gyms/health clubs etc.. Marvin and I have just purchased a treadmill. Walking has always given me great results in the past and well, frankly, when its 20° outside, walking outside is not an option for me. Forget that. lol! Plus marvin wants to get back into running again as well. The treadmill is not extremely fancy, but it is better than most treadmills out there. Definitely spent more on it than we intended but it is of high quality and WELL worth it to us. Its a good size but folds upright 90 degrees so we can store in a corner of our apt where it will fit perfectly. :) When we considered the amount we would pay to a gym/health club monthly and being stuck in a friggin contract for 1-2 years, we just felt that the purchase of a treadmill would make more sense for us. The convenience of working out in our own home when we want and not having to wait for someone else to get off of it at a gym or feeling the pressure to hurry up so someone else can use it etc is a plus. Also, we can do our crunches, palates (sp?), dumbells etc..at home as well. Everything we would be paying a gym for essentially, we can simply do here. We've decided that this is "our Christmas gift to ourselves". :D
Yay... now, hopefully, this will push us more to get back in shape and me to quit smoking completely.
