(38,958 posts)I use the tread mill once in awhile, but I find the bike easier. I have a spot for the iPad to spend time on DU and a nice shelf next to it for my coffee. All the creature comforts.

I agree about needing a quality tread mill. We went thru two before this current one.
Are you walking on it or jogging or doing intervals ("wind sprints" ?
Again, hurray.
Here's to another six years.

(12,051 posts)accuracy, and I'd like to know what veteran walkers use. (I see that one of you uses a fitbit.) I walk nearly every day but would like to start counting steps. Thanks in advance, everyone!
