My DH is a Diabetic. He found that walking is the only thing that keeps his sugar readings down. Now that it is too hot to walk in the afternoon he bought a treadmill to use in the garage. He has a fan in the window & one on the ceiling. He usually uses it for a hour on a slight incline. He bought it second hand at a thrift shop so it was a bargain. What we did not know the belt you walk on has to be oiled every so often otherwise it will burn up. Started falling apart in strips. Called the company listed on the machine sent us a booklet with instructions for get this$10.00. Ordered a new belt he installed it himself. He loves using it plus walking outdoors morning & evening when it is cooler. It tells you how fst you are going and the amount of calories you are burning. I will be using it soon too. Sueanne
