Dear Readers,
My sister, Holly, recently bought a treadmill which I helped install in her condo. It was a heavy sucker, I can assure you. Anyway, buying a treadmill seems like the biggest waste of money if you ask me. Granted, Holly is going to make it work by reading while she walks/runs, not something you can really do without a treadmill. Other than that, why on earth would you buy a treadmill?
First, it allows you to do something in your room you can do just as easily outside...run. Go run around the block. Go run to your friends house. Save the 400-someodd dollars you would spend on a treadmill and spend $50 on a good pair of running shoes. Shoes can be even cheaper than that.
Another thing: treadmills are big and bulky, taking up all sorts of room in your house/apartment. Sure, some brands have treadmills that "fold up" and lean against the wall or something like that. They are still there. Not to mention leaning a 200-400 pound object against the wall does not seem like the smartest thing to do. You're just asking for a broken bone or other object.
Holly, best of luck with your treadmill because you are using it to multitask. In every other way possible, a treadmill is a more expensive way to do what man was intended to do: run.
