[gregshin]

I'm not really a hardcore runner but i would love a treadmill...the one at walmart was for $299.99 i dont know what brand it was but i think it was a 2hp motor good to 10mph top speed and the track was decently wide....where else can i get tread mills for cheap?

You get what you pay for.

Don't be surprised if craps out in under a year.

Yeah, a treadmill for $299 I would probably only feel comfortable using it for brisk walking, nothing else.

But......

Treadmills are great if you can spend the extra $$$ and have a place in your apt./house for one. I know I wish I had one.
