I get the best results when I can find something good to watch that is on for an hour or more. I watch TV and just walk and walk. Hour shows are really the best. Start when the show starts and end when the show ends.
Here's a challenge for you- my wife and I wore out our first treadmill, and that was even after I replaced a roller and the belt once (mechanical repairs on a treadmill are DIY jobs, btw, pretty easy). Finally became not worth fixing. We're working on our 2nd one (got it about 3 years ago), but this time got the extended service plan, and keep renewing it (to get the parts for free). Already replaced the motor. So, see if you can wear yours out! |
True treadmills are the best, not cheap. They may be worth it if 2 people are using it. They also are quiet which makes tv watching easier.
Any treadmill will last longer if you do periodic maintenance on it. Lubing the track is something I rarely hear people doing.
