BH Fitness Mercury Avant TV Light Commercial Treadmill

Pro-Fitness Value Treadmill

Advantages: Solid, cheap, reliable, sturdy, good range of settings
Disadvantages: It's huge - but they all are! Can't make your own set programs

I bought this treadmill because I wanted to learn to run - obviously! I suppose that before really going into the details on what this machine is like, I should probably tell you about my own personal fitness levels beforehand. First of all, I am not overweight and so was not buying it for weight reasons - my BMI is actually right on the border between underweight and ideal.

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

wii fit

Advantages: weight loss or weight gain depending on what you choose to do. very fun games!
Disadvantages: its not entirely accurate, can strain yourself if you over do it.

stick to one of the weight of clothing everytime istead of changing it else you will end up with varied results which are usually inacurate. Apart from that its a very well designed game. Many games now that you buy for the Wii you can use the balance bored with it such a snowboarding, skating and fitness work outs. I would recommend this to anyone who has a Wii, it's a fun and easy way to burn off the calories. There's nothign more boring than going to a gym and just using a bike of even using a treadmill to run or walk, You can do that with wii fit and its made much more fun. Although i must warn anyone over 23stone is advised not to use the Wii fit balance bored. ...
