Invest In A Treadmill - Here's Why
Even though running outdoors is great for fresh air and getting in touch with nature or … concrete jungles, a treadmill is a really cool tool to invest in. If you’re someone who can put one foot in front of the other, I highly recommend you consider the purchase. Of course treadmills can be pricey; a brand new model selling for just a few hundred dollars would probably not provide a positive experience. But a quality treadmill which provides a convenient, weather proof, at-home opportunity to train at all hours while enjoying your favorite television shows would qualify in my “fitness expert” book as a wise investment.
The Benefits of Owning a Treadmill:
• Convenience.
• Permits late night or early morning workouts,
• Is available for use on holidays when gyms are closed.
• Requires zero travel time.
• Negates the dangers of running alone outdoors.
• Prevents any discomfort or anxiety some may feel in a busy gym.
• Allows parents to train while their children play or sleep at home.
• Lets those who work from home get in a quick workout during the day.
• Ensures that foul weather won’t prevent you from training.
• Supplements training for a road race perfectly.
• You can exercise in or out of any clothing you choose!
Listen, I’m 100% committed to my workouts. However, LIFE GETS IN THE WAY! Between safety considerations (I never run alone in the dark) and family issues (I never leave my little kids alone), I always have a fantastic option for vigorous exercise. I also love that I can use it in little more than my undies, a sports bra and my TheraFit sneakers. An old TV is bolted up in front of my treadmill and I catch up on nonsense TV or the news while I run. A $1,000+ price tag may seem like a big deal today, but if you consider that it should last for years to come and thousands of miles run … the per use cost for you and your family makes it a really wise investment.
