Alin75's advice column

There are two treadmill i'm considering right now. There's one sorta expensive one, and the other is cheap. I know i should hold up and wait till i can actually buy the expensive one, but i'm not sure when i'll be able to get it. I could afford the cheaper one though, and i was wondering if i should buy it. BTW the tradmill is a proform 400X and i'm not quite sure about the other one. Should i buy it...or wait a few (maybe 2-4) more months?
Does anyone have a proform 400x or similar one? how long will it last?
thanks

I was about to answer generally about treadmills, and then I found this review which confirmed everything I was going to hypothesise about it.

Basically the cheap treadmills I have tried were not very good. The belt size and motor power, as they mention, is very relevant. Training on them was always annoying, and that is something that exercise cannot be if you want to stick to it for years to come.

I would seriously urge you to wait and get a good one. There is nothing worse than spending a lot of money on a fitness apparatus that you end up not liking.

Good luck.
