I am looking to purchase a treadmill, but have a very tight budget. The cheapest high quality one that I could find is at walmart.com called the Weslo G-30 treadmill selling for $198 + shipping + tax = $262.60. Does anyone know of any other ones that are at this price range and where to buy? Also, does anyone know anything about Weslo treadmills (are they good)?

whatever you do…please make sure the belt is wide enough for you to walk or jog on. get on the thing and walk or jog as you normally would. If you feet get anywhere within 3 inches of the edge, DO NOT BUY IT. I know your budget it tight, but better to walk outside or in the mall than fall off the treadmill because the belt is too narrow.

i know this is not really what you are looking for in an answer, but I do not want you to get hurt.

I’m seriously unfit at the moment, and pretty overweight, and whenever I’ve dieted in the past, it hasn’t really worked. So obviously I need to diet AND do more excercise.
I’ve found both of them reasonably cheap with decent customer reviews, and I could possibly even afford to get both. But I don’t know if I’d be wasting my money and just one would be enough. The attraction of a runner is that I can watch TV or something whilst I’m using it!!! With a rower, it’s probably be quite difficult to do that.
Would you recommend that I get one over the other, or should I stretch my budget and go for both?

Just workout daily (lightly) and eat smaller portions. No need for a diet. Just eat normal healthy food but, in smaller portions. You might be a Little hungry after a meal but you’ll get use to that feeling after a week or two and then it shouldn’t be a problem. As for the machine, my advice would be to not buy either and just go for a walk everyday. nothing extreme, just a nice brisk walk. And always eat AFTER you work out. I tend to eat less or feel like eating less after a work out. walks, crunches, and buy some 3-5 lb hand weights to work on your arms and you should be just fine.

I’m looking to buy a treadmill, I’ve read some reviews online and people generally don’t seem impressed with their treadmills, does anyone have a treadmill they like?

Voted Best Treadmill in 2006 by Fitness World was the Series 87F "MoveitPorky" model.

I really want to get myself into a fitness routine, and though I know running on the road outside is cheap, the cold UK weather has been putting me off recently. So, I am thinking of buying myself a treadmill or a cross trainer.

1) Which is better for increasing fitness and weight loss, treadmill or cross trainer?

2) Which model/make should I get?

I have been searching the web for reviews etc but they are sparse. I have a budget of about £200 - £300 and obviously want best value for money. I don’t have a lot of room, but am worried that the fold-away ones might not be as sturdy. I like the idea of electronic incline rather than manual. What do you recommend?

I can say that a cross trainer is perfect for weight loss and increasing fitness but if you are just going to run occasionally a treadmill is better. Idont know of a great model or brand name though. If you are wanting a very nice treadmill that is sturdyit will probably cost more than your budget.Iused to have a folaway treadmill and it was very sturdy.i hope you fid something soon.
