Non motorised runnin machine?

[pipper]

Are they any good? I would dearly love the all singing motorised one but have very limited funds and there is a very cheap non motorised one for sale local to me. What are your thoughts? Will it be a waste of money?

I wouldn't know. The rare times I've used a treadmill, it's been in the gym so on the expensive motorised version. Can i ask though, why not run outside? I run a fair bit, and always outside. positively hate the gym!

I really dont like to run out side - i have used motorised treadmills a few time and found i liked them - i am so unfit and a couple of stone overweight and so think that i would be more inclined to use a machine rather thsn run outside.

I used one years ago and for me I would go for a motorised one as it sort of pressurises you into keep running or you'll fall off where as the non motor one you can just stop to easy.

I havent heard of the non motorised running machine but have you thought of a rebounder? like a mini trampoline. they are meant to be quite good for fitness i think. (NB that is me being an armchair expert, never used one myself!)

From my experience a non motorised treadmill is very hard work .. I would scour eBay/ preloved and all the Facebook selling pages to buy a motorised one. In my opinion your more likely to stop using a non motorised ( and find it harder to sell on)

I've been looking into this recently as I'm looking to buy

wouldnt recommend the non motorised ones, definately go for one that is like the ones you use in the gyms, have you looked on ebay/preloved, you can pick one up for a fraction of the cost.

I would definately recommend a motorised one, try to avoid non-motorised.
