Things to consider before buying a Treadmill

Right! Am assuming, you've got those lipids running amok in your system. Dont worry, you are in fine company. What you gotta do is get yourself to think about what is the reason for this...that might be little complicated than it seems. Typically a lot many reasons play a role in clinal flatullence, lifestlye's the biggest culprit though. So assuming you are from the sedantary life category, read software (or umnn something equally challenging for the mind, and not necessarily for the body) then you gotta focus of one and only one thing. How does one go about putting a minimum 60 minutes of high anabolic stress upon thy own body.

The answers' pretty simple, buy a Treadmill :)

However buying a decent treadmill in a sucker of a city like mumbai can be a pain, here's what you can do though.
1. Pray your search itself will be so tiring it would reduce you to the point that you never need to actually buy a treadmill...
(The point above was just to cheer you, relax. It never works, never did for me.)
2. First and the most crucial aspect of a treadmill the weight / speed ratio. Dont be naive enough to believe the speed numbers displayed on the box (or brochure) it has to work with your weight!
3. Make sure the treadmill is sturdy enough and doesnt rattle when you actually try to put your hard eard flab onto it...or simply put pretend to run ;)
4. Cushioned surface is a budget-killer, but a must have nevertheless...
5. Do not buy those cheap unnamed, unbranded, no warranty, no guarantee taiwanese make treadmill...Taiwan is a mass-manufacturing hub, they lost their quality manuals' to a shortage of toilet papers.
6. Dont bid for a treadmill on ebay.in that hemal guy sucks!
7. The decent ones fitting the do's and dont's above would set you back by about 60-70K! (See the capitalist McDonalds' didnt just sell you a burger, did it?)
8. Use your treadmill! Mere presence of it is likely to make you put on more of those fats as the false sense of security the damn thing provides.
