Electric, Its a reebok one bought a few years ago - not a lot of use as I prefer to run outside.

It'll look good next to my Reebok rowing machine.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. Isn't it easier and cheaper to run outside?

I can not for the life of me understand why someone would fork out so much money for a treadmill, either to buy or to use at the gym.

I think cross trainers are a waste of time. Even the most unfit of people struggle to break sweat on them. I use one to loosen up as part of a warm up but that's all I find them good for.

Cross trainers are pretty good for toning your rear end, but little else.

I want some gentle aerobic exercise from a ct or treadmill, I already have the ass kicking stuff like bench press, lat pull, curling press, punch bags and kickboxing stuff.

But why not just go for a jog outside and save yourself hundreds of pounds?

Friend of mine swears by his home treadmill so much so that i'm tempted to get one.

I'll have yours if you don't want it Brewster. :-)

You don't need a gym to get good exercise. In fact all you need is the Brian Harvey exercise and that will get you into shape in no time:

Let your car run in 1st or 2nd gear and jog ahead of it. It sets a good pace and is incredibly motivational.

I would advise against eating too many jacket potatoes before you do this exercise though.

This reminds me... I didn't even know this happened:

But met someone the other day who witnessed it, watched his scalp be taken off by a machete. Awesome.
