This has been very helpful especially with all the rain as long as we have electricity and no power outages. Like today it is raining cats and dogs but we still have power and I had one of our house cleaners start up my generator to make sure the jets on the carburetor don't clog because they are so small. I start mine up or have someone else start it about every 2 weeks or so during the year so it's still running when I need it when trees blow down in weather something like this. (We were without power from December 23rd to around the 26th of December with about 8 people here to feed. So, we started up the gasoline powered generator and kept it running most of the time to keep the 1500 to 2000 dollars worth of food in the two refrigerators okay for the 8 of us during Christmas even though we didn't have power or heat except for our fireplace without electricity. However, we do have a natural Gas stove top that can be lit by a match (not all of them do this by the way) so you have to be sure to get one that you can still light with a match instead of an electric spark.
So, ever since I got home from the hospital as long as I'm feeling well enough I get on the treadmill and go as fast as I can in 5 minute increments. I find that 5 minutes in a cycle is enough to keep myself going and healthy whether I walk the dog at the beach that day or not. The beach is about 1 mile away from where we live.
I'm thinking this is the one we now have because it has the foam padded side rails which I find helpful a lot because of my hernia injury. If I support my weight also with the side rails I have less pain doing this and I also find this treadmill helpful in lengthening strides after being in the hospital.
So, I'm coming back now stronger than ever by using this Treadmill here at age 77 almost 78. I'm thinking that this is the one we now have because it has the foam padded Handrails which I find very helpful after being in the hospital 3 days early in January 2026.
