Surely not mine, because I never use it.

I would give it for free to anybody showing up at my house to pick it up.

I gained almost 100 lbs during my pregnancy. Im looking to loose 50 all together and would love to loose at least 20 by May just when its starting to get warmer so i dont have to hide behind ugly clothes and just enjoy my first summer with my son and be healthy.
I dont have time to go to a gym everyday because I have a 5 month old so im looking to buy
something to excercise with, piece of equipment.
I dont have too much room in our home so im weighing pros and cons to the big objects I know some treadmills fold up.
I dont want to spend more than 500
and I want it to show how many calories you burn at each session.
Any ideas?
Is is possible to loose 20 lbs in 2 months?
Ive done it when I was younger, but in a un healthy manner that I cant pull off anymore.

Well its pretty realistic. You should normally and safely lose around 2 lbs a week. Which, in two months is just about twenty pounds. As for equipment. I HIGHLY suggest an elliptical. I own just about one of everything, and the elliptical is what i LOVE the most. It works both the upper and lower body (get one with movable arms). You can listen to music and shake your body and kind of dance at the same time on it, LOL. Now, the better ones only start at about $500. I bought mine, on the cheaper side, at $550, nordic track e5si space saver. The back end folds up to save you about 2-3 feet. Now, the downsides to getting a cheaper model. The are noisier and not as smooth. However, when you just want to lose some weight, just crank up the tv or your music a bit and you dont really notice anyways. I have a one and a half year old and she sleeps right through the creaks and squeaks. But you cant realistically get a smooth and quiet machine for only $500. That’s why they make $5000 range ones. Also, really all you need to do is invest in two maybe 8lb dumb ells and/or a resistance band, and look on you tube and do the toning workouts. By the way, billy blanks cardio and ad bootcamp on you tube is AWESOME. Makes you drip sweat like crazy. So, its going to be hard work, but you can do it. Ive had three kids and gained 60lbs a piece.. and lost it all with each one roughly by the time they were a year old. Im still at 134 and would like to get back down to 125 but im working on it! Its always the last ten lbs that suck the most. So anyways.. diet is 90% of weight loss REMEMBER THAT. No matter HOW HARD you work out.. if your eating to many calories, it wont matter. Oh, as for the calorie counting thing on the machines… well they are not totally accurate… since some of us have more muscle or more fat…the machine cant tell you that. If you have more muscle you are burning more than if you had mostly fat on your body. But its somewhat accurate. Anyways best of luck new mommy!!

The treadmill supposedly folds into an upright position, but when it was in this position it unlocked and fell on the feet. Smash! The feet cracked all up and now when you use it, your weight makes the back run on the broken feet which is a hazard. Unless I find a way to try to fix it myself with hand made fix it yourself, it would probably be best to just get new feet. So far I can’t find a way to get the feet for the back of the treadmill, any ideas?

Try this place, or contact the manufacturer.

besides a treadmill? preferably one that can fold up or be stored in a small place…….

Stationary bike.

I have been a truck driver for 6 year’s and just recently found a fold up treadmill that fits in my truck. The only problem I am finding is I need to hold on to the hand rail’s, which they say is wrong, and it give’s me a false workout. I also find that the incline it has, I have to take breaks more often than walking flat. I had been walking 1 mile before I got the treadmill, and I could finish that in one walk, this takes me a while, and I am just wondering if this is normal?
I am using a manual treadmill, and when I walked 1 mile it was only around my truck, I had calculated it up so that I needed to walk around the entire truck 31 times = 1 mile. This I could do all at once without any breaks, but the incline seems to be different, I run out of breath quicker, and my heart pounds really bad, so I have been doing .5 segment’s.every .5 i take a break and let me catch my breath and heart calm down. I just want to know if I am doing this correctly, or not?

Using a motorized treadmill with no incline, you may burn fewer calories per mile than you do outdoors. The moving tread does some of the work for you, and you have no wind resistance. According to research, you can overcome these by adding a slight incline, as little as 1%.

Walking outside has its biggest advantage in challenging your balance and stability with all of the small obstacles, dodges, starts and stops. This will give you an advantage for distance walking as well as overall health as we age — maintaining our stabilizing muscles. Here is what you face walking outside vs. on a treadmill:

* Up and down curbs, steps, short stairways, and stepping over small obstacles. A little workout for your climbing muscles.
* Sloped sidewalks and road sides. A challenge to your balance muscles.
* Dodging people, puddles, and poodles. A challenge to move side-to-side as well as forward.
* Stops and starts at street crossings. A challenge to the muscles to come to a halt and to start from zero.
* Treadmills only go uphill or level, only very rare models have downhill incline. Going downhill challenges muscles in a completely different way.
* On the treadmill, the tread is moving and you may not be giving yourself a good push off with your back foot. Concentrate on doing this correctly on the treadmill.

Distance Training Outdoors vs. Treadmill
I recommend doing outside long distance mileage when training for a 10K, half marathon or marathon, rather than doing it all on the treadmill. Go ahead and use the treadmill for your within-week workouts of 30-60 minutes and to work on your walking posture and form. But for your long, slow distance mileage, do it outdoors.

On a longer distance event, your muscles will begin to tire and you will need to remind yourself often of good walking form. You end up with aches in odd places as you "recruit" different muscles when your usual walking muscles tire. Outdoors training is more likely to be using those muscles for balance, stability, ups and downs than the smooth ride of the treadmill. You will end up with fewer aches after your long distance events if you have been doing your long slow distance training outdoors.
