  1. I want to get a home exercise machine to use when I can't
    make it to the gym. I've been thinking of getting a manual
    treadmill. Any general comments? Recommendations? Machines
    to stay away from? Thanks.

    I've been told that manual treadmills keep you from
    making natural


    movements because you have to hold the bars That's all I
    know!

    I bought a Norditrack treadmil and love it. Sears has a good
    cheaper selection. You don't have to hold bars. When your
    buying one make sure the width/length of your stride fits on
    the length and width of the treadmil track. You don't want
    your foot to hit half off, you'll fall flat on your can.
    Check the speed, most go to 10mph. So if your faster than
    that you'll end up spending more $$. There is nothing like
    jogging while watching tv. Amy

  4. My mother bought a manual treadmill and I hated it. You
    can't walk naturally and if you do use it enough to increase
    speed, anything over a medium walk is agony trying to keep
    the unit going. A motorized treadmill is the only one used
    by anyone serious in gaining fitness.
