Treadmills? Any recommendations?

[akmiss]

I am going to get a treadmill for Christmas and just started looking around. My budget is for the <$1000 treadmill that can handle heavy running. Also, This may sound silly but I want to put the treadmill in an upsatirs room. Should I be concerened about this? I have visions of falling through the ceiling! Thanks for any advice

We have a Nordic Track Summit 4500. It was for heavy runners with a long track. DH is 6 ft 4 inches. It has held up well. We''ve had it for about 6 years and it cost about $1200. It worked great as a storage holder until I started using it last spring.

I don''t have a recommendation for a specific brand, but I love the ones with the "programs". I really like the challenge of doing a certain program for a week or so, and then increasing the toughness level on that same program. (Either increases speed, time, or slope) I find it really motivates me and helps me improve.

OK, we just bought a Nordic Track commercial ZS! It looks good and was the top rated treadmill in its price range. My wonderful hunny is putting it together right now

I l

ve it! It is really easy to use and the sound system is great. I have been using it daily and average about 3 miles doing various speeds/inclines. I took a three day break when I was sick in bed with strep throat

I seriously have lost about eight pounds and feel great. I am contributing most of the weight loss to being so ill and not eating for days.......

No buyers remorse here
