I bought this treadmill from Amazon and it arrived today, whoppeeeee!!! It has to be one of the best purchases I've ever made. It's cheaper than an ordinary treadmill at £150 (British Pounds) and I am literally walking on it now as I type this text. It is designed just for walking and reaches a top speed of 4 miles per hour. I rarely write reviews on Amazon but as soon as I have finished writing this post I'll go over to Amazon to write a glowing review.
I spend a lot of time (most of my waking hours) on the computer because I work from home and in the last year I've noticed the detrimental affects of a sedentary lifestyle on my back and on my weight. I knew that if I could combine work with exercise I'd be onto a winner....and this nifty product is the key to my new non-sedentary lifestyle.
If you want to be more active while spending a lot of time on your computer or sitting down I'd highly recommend that you buy this product.
Here is the link on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Office-Fitness-Purpose-Walking-Treadmill/dp/B0094WTGAK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1354222029&sr=8-3
