I know you have heard it before – you need to get more exercise. It does not have to be as hard as you think. In fact, you can burn more calories every day by doing more of what most everyone does every day and that’s walking. Even light walking for an hour a day each day will burn enough calories in week equivalent to a pound of fat! Increase that intensity to a moderate walk, speed walking or jogging and you can be shedding off those pounds fast!!

Keeping this resolution is key to maintaining a healthy weight not to mention numerous other health benefits. I can hear some of you now – it’s too cold outside to go walking or I don’t have enough time in my schedule for exercise. One sure way to stay on track is to purchase your own personal treadmill. By having one in your home, you can get in your exercise without even stepping foot out of the warmth of your house. Plus you can continue to do most of the things you do at home while on the treadmill such as watching TV and reading. On our site, we have a number of treadmill reviews to find the one that’s best for you. You can find these reviews by clicking here: Treadmill Reviews and Recommendations.

On a tight budget? No problem! Our treadmill reviews also detail the best-rated treadmills by price range. The reviews on our site are designed to find the right treadmill for your specific needs. Price ranges start around $800 and go higher than most of us are willing to spend ($4,000+!) on a piece of home fitness equipment. The more expensive ones are usually geared more towards actual gyms and gyms inside of condominiums, etc. that see constant use. You can expect to find a very good quality treadmill for home use with a good warranty for somewhere right around $1,000. Don't worry, most of them offer free shipping so you won't get beaten over the head for that...these things are HEAVY!!

Have time constraints? No problem! There is medical evidence supporting the claim that you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease by walking just 30 minutes a day. And it doesn't matter how old you are, either. You can start walking at age 20, age 40, age 60, age 80! The point is, just GET MOVING! The benefits are the same no matter your age. Walking helps reduce your blood pressure, helps with weight control, especially around the mid-body region (or the "spare tire syndrome"), preventing common colds, and even giving your mind a spiritual break that your entire body can benefit from. I'm sure if you really think about it, you can find 30 minutes in your busy day where you can walk on a treadmill. Do you read the morning paper? Read it while you walk! Do you watch the news every morning? Watch TV while you walk! Let's get moving, people!

You can start 2008 off right by making an investment in yourself and your health. With a little initial determination, persistence and consistency – exercising on your treadmill can become a part of your daily routine!!! Just remember to stick with your program and use your treadmill for getting your daily exercise and NOT a place to hang your laundry!
