treadmills, as one may gather from the previous posts, are not quite useless but pretty close to it. You have been well advised. So here is the reason I am looking for one. Don't laugh too hard. Walking slow brings down my blood sugars, I rediscover this everytime I go on vacation. But I hate to walk slow, just to walk slow. And all of the DVDs trainers on this site have recommended that we avoid sitting and spending a lot of time with our computers. Which I like to do. So I am buying a treadmill, and will attach my laptop to it, and in the morning walk for an hour or two. I will hate the walking, but like the blood glucose readings I will get. I am buying a cheapo model, cause I will not be going very fast, and I hope it will last. Upshop of all of this: unless you have an equally crazy but valid reason to get a treadmill, DON'T. When I want to run, which I do frequently, I use the indoor track at my gym. Ignore this adviced if you wish. It is admittedly quirky.
