i want to buy a treadmill in the next few weeks and was just wandering if anyone had one of these:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3355800/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|10199392/c_2/2|cat_10199392|Home+gym+equipment|10199523/c_3/3|cat_10199523|Treadmills|10199544.htm
i’ve looked around but there arent many reviews, so far i can only find argos selling it.
it looks good but i just need to know if it is easy to store as i live in ground floor flat with no room to store it, i got a place in mind behind a door if it folds relatively small.
I’m a total newbie to fitness by the way so any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi there,
I am taking the plunge and upgrading to an Ipod Nano. I want an armband to wear during exercising ie) on the treadmill, walking/jogging outside, skiing. I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews on good armbands. Can anyone suggest a good one. I am ordering the nano and armband off of the apple store (Canada) website http://store.apple.com/ca?mco=MTE2MjI Thanks!
I am thinking of getting the zCover iSA micro3 Armband Outdoor Pack for iPod nano (Pink)

I am not really interested in loosing weight, per say, but I’d like to slim down. I know I’d build lean muscle and burn fat, and I’m just looking for a machine to help me do that. I do go on the treadmill a couple times a week, but it’s absolutely BORING. I’d like a compact exercise system that I can put in front of my T.V. and just exercise while watching TV or something!
I’m wondering how effective exercise bikes are. I found two that seem to get good reviews. One is an upright bike, and one is a recumbent. They both look comfortable to me, so I’m not concerned about which one is more comfortable.

Which one would be better for my desires? Neither? Please post some suggestions. Thanks!

I’ve been on my new diet for 4 days (the fourth day now) and I’ve already lost 1.76pounds. I only drink water and watch what I eat. I count calories eaten and burned and I always make sure Ive burned more calories than Ive consumed. I havent been exercising yet coz Im waiting for my treadmill to arrive but I work 8.5hour days and Im on my feet the whole time. I am also using fat blaster max, its a herbal diet supplement theres actually nothing it in chemical wise. Everything that is in it is herbal, like green tea for metabolism etc. I looked into it before I purchased it and its been reviewed to work. Plus Im having no side effects.
My question is, do you think the 1.76pounds would mostly be water weight? Or actual stored fats being burned? (Coz in a roundabout way Im not eating any fats coz theyre being disposed of by the diet pill so youd think youd be burning your fat stores straight away). Also, do you think the weight loss will continue like this? or will it plateau?
Oh Im 20 years old. Starting weight of 140.21pounds, current weight 138.45. Im 5′4. And my goal weight is 114pounds.
SubJ… I’ve seen your exact same answer on nearly every post. Seriously, people come here for individual help not some generic answer that sounds like bulls!t anyway.
STOP POINT SCAMMING.

To the third post, I am eating normally. Im just making sure I have healthy choices and lower calories and portions.
And no i will not become a vegetarian. I like meat too much. And I hate most vegetables.
I already walk 8.5 hours a day because Im on my feet all day for work. On my days off I will run 2hrs. So Im getting enough exercise too.
Oh, forgot to add (also to third post). There’s no problem with me eating fast food we have no maccas, KFC, hungry jacks, pizza hut, eagle boys, dominos, red rooster etc etc etc where i live.
