I love my treadmill. I have big improvement in walking and balance if I use

it regularly. At one point I was walking 20 mins up hill. I quit for a

long time. I gained weight and now I am back to my treadmill. This week I am

working up to 5 mins.

Now this kind of testing amazes me, HOW do they think people with CMT1A

are going to be able to even stand walking on a treadmill? My doctors have

told me NO weight bearing exercising. I personally have tried the treadmill

and my feet and knees cannot tolerate it.

I was really afraid to try walking on a treadmill at first but I can do it.

I start off really slow and work my way up to the second slowest speed. I

hold on the handles and don't go for very long but I do really like it.

Only takes 2 mins to get my heart rate up. lol
