OK I have decided it is time for me to get more serious about getting in

better shape. Those of you that have used both, which would you prefer

that is EASY on the lower back.. a non-motorized treadmill or an

exercise bike?

or

http://www.fingerhut.com/ProductGroup.aspx?offergroupxid=22941 & categoryxid=432

I am leaning towards the treadmill just because of the gal's position on

the bike. It looks liek a painful back position.

I always preferred the treadmill to the bike. The bikes always hurt

my bum no matter which kind of seat they had. Back in the day, I

also found that you could add arm circle or other actions to make a

more difficult work out on the treadmill; but off course now we want

easier.

I have a power treadmill (that I haven't been on in a few months,

but will definitely get back to) but I have been on a friend's non-

motorized before and it seemed pretty good to me.

Just my 2 cents.

Val,

I'd vote for the treadmill. I can't use the bikes, in particular the

seat types without my back starting to hurt within 10 minutes of

getting on it. Besides it is mostly a lower body workout. The

treadmill will exercise more muscles, including the tummy, while

walking. Add in some arm movement and you're getting a lot more.

But I am NOT is that back a shape, just have old back injuries (and new

ones) and arthritis in hips. I think the treadmill will win out. When I

walk outdoors ti hurts my hips a bit but nothing like trying to bend

over does t my back. Peddling would be alot of movement in the area of

my back that has the most pain so I think it would not work for me.

Well there is no room in my budget for more thn $100 to spend on

equipemnt that I am unsure I even CAN use. Even if it was the greatest

thing on earth I couldn't afford more than that and i have accouts with

Fingerhut and Sears will NOT give me one. SO that is out of the

question. I am thinking cheap treatmill this year and maybe next year a

better one, but with the money I owe right now I am going to be payign

medical bills along with $350 a month for meds and I just don't have

extra for exercise equipment. my food is costing me around $110 a week

as well as I have to eat different and more expensive foods too. All

this is adding up to alot more than I make.So I may just save up to buy

a bettter bed so I won't mind staying in it all the time if I have to.

Right now I am sleeping on a daybed that I have slept on for the last

4.5 years an I am thinking it is at least part of my back trouble. OUCH!

Maybe I will save my money and just buy the waterbed I have eyed for the

last year and a half I want.

a,

Can you give the names of your work out videos? Thanks!

You have helped me so much that I am going to give you my thoughts on

your questions. Honestly, from someone who has been exercising for 3

years now, your choices are not the best. Just my humble opinion. I

think they are cheap and you will not be happy with them therefore you

will stop using them. I have had two back surgeries so I know about

back problems. The treadmill that is not motorized will put a lot of

strain on your back. I agree with you on the bike and the position of

her back. If you are going to spend money on some equipment, spend

enough that you get something of quality that won't hurt you and that

will hold up. You will continue to use it if you buy something of

quality.

I went to Sears and checked out their stuff. They have great items

and they will set up a payment play for you. Don't buy the

inexpensive stuff, you will not be happy and you won't use it.

One other thing...I bought a basic Pilates DVD when I first started to

exercise. I did it in front of my own TV. It was hard but it really

worked wonders and it worked fast. It built muscles fast and I would

tell the difference right away, plus I was sore as hell so I knew it

was working. I then bought a basic weight training DVD, some 2 pound

and 3 pound hand weights and started that routine. I lost 65 pounds

that year and have kept it off by doing Pilates (remember I have had 2

back surgeries) and using my treadmill.

Oh...I am in stage 7 adrenal fatigue so I take it slow and easy but I

get her done. Staying strong is very important. It will help your

blood sugar, blood pressure, your immune system, etc, etc, etc.

Somedays I get really depressed because I am too tired to exercise.

It has helped me so much that even though I don't want to do it some

days, I do it and feel better.

Hope that helps,

Val, check craigslist.org and look in your area for a used one.

I have been looking for a treadmill as well. Everyone says, " you live

in SD, the weather is great, go outside. " Yes, that part is true,

BUT it is also

extremely hilly. I have VERY steep hills in my neighborhood and no

sidewalks, and people drive crazy! I figure a treadmill is less

stress on my back (I have a herniated disk) and safer, so...

I have found some in all price ranges. You might have better luck

right after Christmas when people get upgraded, or move to a new item.

Best of luck, Jackie

Hey Val,

I was just remembering something I used to have and liked just as much as our

treadmill (when we had it :) and it cost a LOT less than the treadmill. It was

a rebounder...you know, a mini-trampoline? You get on that and just bounce to

begin with. It is absolutely great for lymph drainage and it's very low impact

so it's not hard on your back and you can work your arms at the same time. Mine

cost all of $11 from Ebay! Check it out. It might be something to consider! :)

my shop for my insulin instead. Which was sonmething else I needed

anyway. I do not like that I have to carry it with me and cannot keep it

refrigerated at work, so now I cnan just keep some there. I will just

Val,

Like may of the others, you have helped me SO much,in a little over a

month, I have too respond just out of care and respect! Do you live

somewhere that walking outside is not an option? I think buying a good

pair of walking shoes and that new water bed gets my vote! I also

belieive yoga and/ or some really good stretching is a must before and after

with back stuff. Also, if you have lower back issues , do some situps....

however, start slow, and easy!

Best, a

I have found that the skywalker is so much easier to use than a

treadmill and it is a whole body workout.

It swings with you instead of making you put pressure on hurting

feet/legs.

It is the only thing I can use with my bad ankle.

I love water aerobics also if you have a Y or a gym near you that has a

pool.

We could find a nice guy to take care of Val and get her whatever she

needs:) Anyone have a brother..uncle..? lol

When my ex mother-in-law was diagnosed with Type 2

diabetes, the doctor told her to get one of those

little round trampolines and use it for half an hour

every day.

She did, and within six months I believe it was, her

diabetes was gone completely. They had put her on some

pill to take for the diabetes when she was first

diagnosed and told her she might have to go to

injections.

That trampoline worked so well she never did have to

go to the injections and the diabetes went totally

away.

She was in her late 50's at the time.

So I can vouch for those things for sure! And they are

very inexpensive. We had one about five years ago

ourselves, and bought it for like 30 bucks brand new

at Target or something.

diabetes, the doctor told her to get one of those

little round trampolines and use it for half an hour

every day.

She did, and within six months I believe it was, her

diabetes was gone completely. They had put her on some

pill to take for the diabetes when she was first

diagnosed and told her she might have to go to

injections.

That trampoline worked so well she never did have to

go to the injections and the diabetes went totally

away.

She was in her late 50's at the time.

So I can vouch for those things for sure! And they are

very inexpensive. We had one about five years ago

ourselves, and bought it for like 30 bucks brand new

at Target or something.

While this sounds good, I am not that sedentary. I am in better physical shape

than most women at 40. I do wrestle with 150+ pound dogs and lift them into my

tub and brush and stand and walk all day at work. It is not a desk job! LOL And

unfortunately that window when my Diabetes might have been controlled by diet &

exercise, my doctor took from me by not informing me of my high sugar three

years ago. Also I have lost over 90 pounds the last year & a half so it is not

like I haven't pulled the easy weight off. I have not been able to do sit ups

since I was 15 years old for the pain they cause me. And I was an acrobat and a

ballet dancer then. While grooming has kept me fairly fit for my age, it has

also beat the HELL out of me over the years from injuries. Most groomers retire

to a more sedentary job LONG before they have been at it as long as I have been.

I only know ONE other groomer that has been grooming as long as I have out of

the 2000 or so I know online! And she hasn't quite caught me by one year! LOL
