Treadmills and Elliptical TrainersWe get so much use out of our treadmill that it is easy to recommend one as an essential tool in your heart healthy lifestyle. Of course if you live where walking outside is preferable and possible, by all means do that! However, for those of you who, like us, live where weather and lighting conditions are not always conducive to walking outside, treadmills make a near perfect alternative. We certainly don't mind walking outside when it's cold... we just bundle up. In fact, now that we have a dog, we are doing a lot more walking outside. But when it's dark, when the sidewalks are icy, when it's pouring rain or sleet or a blizzard, a treadmill eliminates all excuses. Get that walk in! We set ours up in front of a TV with a DVD player so time passes quickly while engaged in a movie or a favorite TV show. Here is a selection of excellent treadmills and elliptical trainers.
