Guys and girls,

I'd like to go shopping for a treadmill this week.

Despite my insistance that 'round' is a shape, I'm told I need to get in shape. I've lately been walking ten kays or so a day (outside of the running around I do at work) and am doing weights as well, but would like to get a treadmill so I can walk / jog as long as I like without getting my pasty white ass robbed down a dark alley somewhere.

That said, I don't know what to look for in a treadmill. I guess I want something with a good range of speed and incline settings, that's about it. I don't need a heart rate monitor or any other funky junk like that, just a good, solid, reliable treadmill.

Are any brands better than others? What should I be spending to get a decent mill?

Thanks muchly all.
-Cj.

I am no expert on treadmills and shit, but the wider the track the better!
I am hiring some 400mm wide track and the moment and it SUCKS ASS. However I have used a 480mm track when I was based at Police HQ and just that 80mm is fuckn everything!

So go for the widest track, your wallet will allow you to go for!

Roger that. 400mm is bugger all dude. Can't imagine trying to run for extended periods on a footprint that small :|

Yep it totally sucks ass

I bought a really good one from orbit fitness in Joondalup for $1400. Incline moves up and down and has lots of different programs etc
Be warned though, I used it twice and the Mrs used it 3 times!
