Introduction:

Well, it’s finally happened. Your physician has recommended that you get more exercise. It’s important to heed any doctor’s orders, but sometimes it’s difficult to know where to start. An important first step is to set reasonable, reachable goals. To do this, try to choose a form of exercise that’s both enjoyable and effective. Many people find that walking is a great way to start. As your fitness level improves you can transition from walking to a mild jog, and from there to an invigorating run, if you so choose. But the weather doesn’t always cooperate for outdoor exercise routines. For that reason, you might want to consider an indoor treadmill. Here’s a brief review of a great exercise treadmill from Johnson: the T7000
