I have bought myself a treadmill.
See, it's been a while since I've really done exercise properly, but when I'm in an exercise mood I usually like to go jogging. Trouble is, by the time I get home from work, it's dark at this time of year, and it's cold outside, and often wet, and East London has quite a lot of dodgy bits and there wouldn't be many routes that didn't take me through them once I got semi-fit. So I thought...why not go jogging in the comfort of my own home, whilst watching a DVD and sipping tea?
Excellent, thought I. How much is a treadmill?
I found the cheapest one Amazon do (£45 or so plus about £30 delivery) and ordered it. It arrived today.
Its name is Theresa. Flatmate and I assembled it, and I tested it out, burning (apparently) 26 calories in the process. And warming myself up so nicely I turned my radiator down. It's win-win-win all round.
Hamsters gave us ever such funny looks! But now I can feel part of their hobby - fruitless running on a moving surface without going anywhere. We can be treadmill buddies! Woohoo!
