Looking to buy a treadmill

[DrewChan]

Anyone in the know about such things? Are the cheapies from Game usable? Good quality ones seem to be 20k plus which is an amount I just cannot justify paying.

Haha not a new years resolution, I have a full home gym I use consistently, just looking for something to supplement road running when I get home late

I have a cheapy at home. Trojan. Works perfectly.

Your weight also makes a difference - the commercial ones (in the gyms - R50k +) can obviously handle more impact and are more stable than the "cheapies"... I think that if you're 95kg's plus and you want to to run on it (as opposed to walking), it probably won't last too long, although I suppose it depends on number of sessions per week etc. I suppose you'll have to weigh up the cost of replacing a cheapie every year or three vs. the cost of a more expensive one lasting 5-10 years.

Rather try road running.
Treadmill feels like you're running on the boardwalk.

Get a skipping rope.
If you can stick to skipping for 5-10 minutes every day for a few weeks you can probably go ahead and get that treadmill .
