Buying a Treadmill for Christmas

It's that time of year again when people are considering the perfect gift for Christmas.  Having been the fitness equipment industry for a number of years, I am surprised how many people buy treadmills as a Christmas present.  They may spend up to a few thousand dollars.

What makes giving a treadmill for the holidays is you are giving the gift of health.  Some of the benefits are a slimmer and sexier significant other.  Oh yeah, if you ask nicely, you may get to use the treadmill yourself.

  2. How heavy or tall is the user.
  3. How many will use the treadmill.
  4. Do you want an extensive selection of exercise programs.
