Is There a Treadmill in Your Future?

So, are you already counting up the pounds that you are going to put on in the next 30 days or so? I am ... cookies, candy, parties, Thanksgiving...all add up to added weight. Of course after the intake of the yummy food comes the weight gain comes the guilt...and the desire to get it off before swim suit season rolls around again. It would be good if we could just avoid that whole scenario and not gain the weight, but realism is probably a better choice in this matter. So, what do you do for exercise? What plan do you have in mind for losing those excess pounds?

Have you considered purchasing a treadmill? That is one of the two pieces of exercise equipment I would like to own. The other is an exercise bike. We have a stairmaster and when I was about 10 years younger, i got a kick out of it. But my knees are no longer up to the task of using it. We also have an elliptical, it is nice, but again, it is hard on my knees.

I would like to give a treadmill a try. I love walking, but I live in a hilly subdivision that has a gravel road. Not the best walking conditions for someone with a bad knee. And then you add in that I don't like to walk when it's hot and humid and I don't want to walk when it's real cold and I don't want to walk in the rain. A treadmill helps with all of those situations. I can exercise inside. I can choose an easy incline or no incline as my knee dictates. Daniel and the kids can set it to a higher level for their exercise and fitness needs.

Now I just have to figure out where to put it! What type of exercise do you like to do?
