A good treadmill is not cheap. Most people do not know what a home treadmill cost. They may have seen the Icon treadmills in Wal-Mart for several hundreds dollars and have the conception that is what is a starting price. Wrong! Treadmills are machines that if used regularly, take an excessive beating. That's why if you want a home treadmill that will last, you're going to need to shovel out a few bucks. I would recommend for a good walking treadmill that withstand regular use, you start somewhere in the $1,000 range. On the other hand, you don't need to spend $3,000 on a home treadmill that you will use occasionally for walking. Unless you have an obsession for big, expensive toys. |

My dear, try committing to walking 30mins a day in ur area or around the house before buying a threadmill, else it will gather dust. A Bicycle might be more effective, and you can get good ones from N50-80k |

Cyberfreak: It is, my mum lost a lot of weight and maintained it when she used to cycle. I met a doctor who told me that if i wanted to do exercise indoors, aside from housekeeping, i shud ride a bike, but that if i wanted to walk and jog, she advised that i do it in the open, get some air. She mentioned something about the mind and body conditioning itself to certain enviroments, and that i'd probably get more out of walking/joging outside than i would with 30mins on the threadmill. Haven't tested it yet, so not sure. All i know is once your committed to anyform of exercise, you'll get benefits. |

Well, within three months i noticed that my mum had lost weight so when she stepped on the scale she'd gone from 77kg to 69kg. But i shud tell you my mum is dedicated! She'd wake up every morning and do 1hr straight cycle, no short cuts. She also watches her diet and i don't mean she avoids food. If she wants to eat garri and egusi, she will, but she'll eat the right portion at the right time. Now she doesn't even cycle, so she's maintain her weight at 70kg with household chores and proper meals. I've been desperately trying to adopt that attitude in my own way but i keep backsliding. I'm about to start my routine again 2morow. 30 min walk in the morning/1 hour gym in the evening or 1hr cycle in the morning/ 30 min walk in the evening, plus i plan to start swimming. Enuff water during the day and less carbs, cos i need to loose lots of weight and i reckon if it worked for her i could benefit. My mum always says it's about keeping busy, sleeping right and eating right and at the right time. Sounds simple right, but way to difficult to adhere to. |

@cyberfreak three month is not too much a time span to lose weight, i heard cycling is also a good form of cardio-exercise. if your neighbourhood is bicycle friendly, (unlike mine) you can consider cycling too Cyberfreak: you're absolutely right, you can always walk it in the sun or rain,the machine even calculates what distance you've covered. so you'll know if you've covered 3, 4 or 5Km. besides, if you stay in a crap-ass hood like mine ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

My dear, i would advice you from my own experience. I have a treadmill at home. I have had it for three years.I think i have used it about 9 or ten times. 6 of which was within the first week it was bought. The thing is boring to use.For me sha. I get on it and before you know it, like ten mins am bored. But it depends sha, for you it might be different. Now i wish i had collected that money and saved. I still prefer skipping, i always do it while watching TV, and skipping works a lot. i have arthritis, so that cycling wont work for me, but cycling is very good. Walks are excellent too, if you are the kind that gets bored like moi. |

@trimntrendy As they say. . . different strokes for different folks. I cant even concieve the idea of jogging or walking in that pothole riddled neibourhood with a lot of jobless people whispering behind my back. The threadmill works for me. 1 Like |
Re: Cost Of A Treadmill. by tpiah: 12:52am On Jul 05, 2009 |
you can also get your exercise by walking the dog. I used to do that when I was small and lived in a quiet neighborhood. It was fun and my cousin and I jogged quite a bit down the roads (no cars in the evening and well paved). Nice naija memories. However, nowadays its the treadmill. Its boring, true but you can watch tv or read a book while you're on it. @ topic why are treadmills so expensive in Nigeria? They have them overseas for between $300 to $5000 depending on how much you want to spend. |

Treadmills are machines , it support and take an excessive beating. It is one of the most popular types of home exercise equipment. This treadmill can be used for jogging and/or for interval training also. I think it costs from around 30,000. |
