Love running or walking? Hate it when rain, snow or other reason keeps you inside? Well maybe a treadmill is for you.

Whether at home or the gym, entertainment is important to keep you moving on the treadmill. This doesn’t mean you should try any complicated choreography to become the latest Internet hit – that’s been done before. Instead, listen to music, watch TV or do whatever you need to keep going.

Remember, the treadmill isn’t going to do you any good unless you use it. And you’ll be more likely to use it if you enjoy it.

"I started to walk on my treadmill at 4 m.p.h. for one mile, five times a week. After about two weeks I started running at 8 m.p.h. for one minute of every five minutes of walking. I lost 22 pounds and dropped two dress sizes!" --An iVillager

"I bought a treadmill and was very motivated for about one month. This is the eighth month I have owned it and I have probably only been on it about 10 times!" --An iVillager
