As the wife of the owner of a treadmill that has been used exactly twice, I can assure you that factor is no motivation at all.

I drive 30+ minutes 5 days a week to use a treadmill.

Exercise is fun Juniper, don't let the nay-sayers ruin it for you before you get started. It also makes 'fun" activities more enjoyable and less likely to injure you.

Sorry to hear that. I can't really do the treadmill. Way too limiting and the impact on my legs drove me to use an elliptical. I do like the ease, flexibility and the evenness of the Bowflex. As compared to a weight bench... not even close. Bowflex rocks!

I agree. I love the feeling now that I get working out and feeling fit(ter?) Plus when out doing stuff, be it work or play, I find I have a lot more energy and endurance and that makes me feel better both physically and mentally.
