Exercise and Goal Setting

[BPDSurvivor]

@Former-Member ,

 I've been an owner of two different treadmills. Both were good, but guess what? I hated using them. I thought buying a better one would entice me to use it... no, it didn't.

I prefer walking in the fresh air for two hrs rather than use a treadmill for even 10 mins. I also tried watching you tube while on it, but it didn't make the experience any better.

Also, I noticed that a treadmill uses different muscles in the leg than walking outdoors. So really, perhaps it comes down to whether you want to exercise the muscles needed for walking outside or the muscles on a treadmill. Treadmills are used a lot in rehab due to it strengthening certain muscles after hip/knee surgery.

@BPDSurvivor, I'd love the outdoors, have crook knees, had a few falls lately, hurt so badbladt time I couldn't get up on my own - ifvi open windows & doors it might feel the same. Maybe.

REBEL have a good one ON SALE atm. It's just such a lot of money. And their so heavy (90 - 130kg) to manage myself. 

- will I use it?

- will I get sick of tripping over it? 

- willi I / can I 'put up' with it being a main feature in my tiny loungeroom? - it will literally have to replace the 6' lounge. Spoil appearances.

- will using it daily get me out of he dulldrums and tone up?

- am I just too far gone?

- will I regret? And unable to offload?

I donno. Maybe im dreaming again...

😟 don't know what to do

decisions...  decisions...,

Hey @Former-Member Do you have somewhere you can hire one to see how you go with it first. Then you are not locked into the price and can see if you would use it enough to get one down the track.

@Zoe7   @Shaz51   @Adge   @Peri  @MoonGal   @BPDSurvivor  & all... 

I did it, I bought the treadmill thats  on sale (1st one above) for 1300. The put it in the car and my friend was in town with her hubby and they came back, helped me get it out the car (weighs 89kg) AND stuck around nearly 2hrs helped me set it up. Just as well 'cause I didn't have the right tools. So, wow, I'm feeling really spoilt this week, by friends. 😇 Angels. Now to use the thing, evey day. 

Yikes!
