Treadmill – cash on the run

When man decided walking the streets to get fit and healthy was too hard for some, he invented the treadmill. This was simply an altered device from the days of man or animal powered machines. It was a revolution for the couch potato, after all the outside world was a dark and scary place. Those cold and narrow footpaths were not meant for a horizontally portioned being. Who could argue with walking on the one spot and watching Days of Our Lives at the same time? Imagine the table of chips and drinks at your side for the intermission during the walk? So many possibilities and so little energy to explore them.

The retailers of treadmills know of their fate long before you waddle in the door. They know that you will spend your cash and shell out for the best in stationary walking technology. Only to get bored of it after a week and have it collect dust and maybe one day either find its way onto hard rubbish for the financially more sensible will use Ebay.

Trust me when I suggest the footpath before venturing into the space and cash burden that is a treadmill.
