Unless it costs more than about $1500 to fix it, it's cheaper to fix it that to replace it. It is at most 2 years old. I can't realistically do the gym while I'm in school. I'm lucky if I can fit in 30 minutes here at home; driving some place, getting a locker, changing, waiting for equipment, cleaning up, changing again, driving home, showering is a lot more time I don't have.

Wow, uh, then mine is definitely not top of the line. I don't know how to find the repair people for this....is there a number on the treadmill? {could it still be under some sort of warranty?}

I have to agree with the gym/timing. I work out in the morning right up until the last minute, run in, make the boys breakfast & lunch, sit him down and then I jump in the shower and we leave at the very last minute....

If I rush, I don't have enough time to do all of my sets and that isn't what I want.

They've repaired the treadmills in our complex a few times so there must be treadmill repairpersons out there somewhere. Maybe call a local gym and see who they use.

I'm trying again to get myself in the routine of stopping at the gym on the way home from work. I usually tell myself that I only have to go and walk laps and then I can go home. Then when I get there I'm almost always ready to do more. But I let little things talk me out of it in the first place (like the condition of the 405 at 5:00 PM). I've managed twice a week recently but I'd like to get there four times a week.

Any exercise equipment I get definitely ends up as furniture. There's a stability ball in the second bedroom that needs to be pumped up to be usable but I don't even see it any more.

It was different when I wasn't working~ getting tired was alright, I would be at home, or in charge of my time, so I could do things and not worry about exhausting myself before/after work.

I have to set up my 'gym' each time I work out. Plus clean up after the dog and anyone else who has worked out prior to me. This part sucks but it is what it is.

I don't know, if I had to go to a gym, I would probably feel under too much pressure. You should see what I wear at home. Or, rather, that is the point. No one does. :D When I first worked out, I wouldn't allow the kids or their friends to come out of their rooms. If they were hungry they would come in hiding under blankets and get into the kitchen....

I feel like I am wearing jammies when I go to the gym. Probably because I am wearing what I wear around the house. I just can't justify the cost of buying workout clothes.

This week it looks like I will be going at 5:30am, that way I can spend more time with Boy in the evening. By the time I am home he will just be getting up.

LOL Me, too. {the jammies}

I do see some really pretty workout clothes. But, 'pretty' and 'practical' don't go together.

I wear a lot of black.

I haven't seen, MG, if you've posted pics of your tat?

This weekend my workout has been housework. I almost have the "public" areas of the condo totally clean. I need to do more tidying up downstairs. Well, and the kitchen is a pit, but that's not my responsibility to clean. (Although I'll have to do it anyhow.) And I want to remove a few more spots I've noticed in the carpet. But the major work has been done, and hopefully it burned a few calories to make up for the lack of treadmill.

Hey, working out is working out. All of that cleaning is a lot of exercise.

Ugh. I've been exercising my right to eat today.

I did wash my car, and I tried to get everything, inside and out. That was a workout for me.
