Making the decision on the treadmill

I get a lot of people calling me because they are undecided in terms of the treadmill they should be buying. Here are five things I would ask:
So I would assume that you have shopped around, got some prices, set your budget, and now you are ready to make that decision. What should you be asking especially when comparing those last options?
1. Have you checked the available space at your house? Power points, ventilation etc. Do you have limited space? Don’t despair; look at Folding treadmills instead of smaller treadmills.
2. When do you want it? Does the company have stock? When you get that motivation to buy then you want to GET THAT TREADMILL NOW! Call me for availability of treadmills throughout South Africa. 071 863 7398 or email fitness@gym4me.com
3. Spares and servicing and how reputable is the manufacturer. The country is littered with “good deals†Treadmills brought over as once off purchases and sold off by shady operators. That’s why I say never buy a second hand treadmill and do your homework. Contact me to learn more about reputable vendors in South Africa.
4. What else does the company do? Is this a company committed to the Health and Fitness industry? There are only two basic categories of treadmills, those that are backed up and those that are not. I know all of the companies who DO offer the right service. Contact me and I will gladly share my information.
5. Are you ready to DO IT NOW? Motivation means to move. You have taken your investigations this far,
you have the information you have the desire to make changes in your life, all that you might lack is that motivation to make it happen.
It’s that last thing that holds us all back: “procrastinationâ€. Well let me tell you a little story about procrastination and why I don’t procrastinate any more.
Three years ago a friend of mine walked into a nightclub and dropped dead of a heart attack. He was 46 years old and had been planning to get back into the gym for quite some time.
He had also been experiencing some shortness of breath and chest cramps and he was definitely going to see the Dr some time soon.
Now I can’t speak for all of you reading this but what I can say is this; if you make the decision today, to move ahead and start your exercise program, buy your equipment, or just make some changes to your lives then you are one in 1000 people that will do it.
That’s right, 999 people on average will procrastinate and the good intentions will remain nothing but good intentions. Had my friend gone to the GP about his chest pains the week before then he may still be here.
Had my friend started his exercise program when we had started talking about it more than a year previously then he may still be with us.
Of course some of you may be saying that he may have died anyway, and of course you would be right by saying that. That is the voice that makes us procrastinate, the one that says, it won’t happen to me. I can browse the web for a treadmill for another week…month…year… I have forever… You don’t have forever
YES you can afford it
YES you can put half an hour to one side three times per week to use it
YES you can get that younger, leaner body back
YES you can have all of the energy and fitness levels back that you had in your youth.
YES exercise will add years to your life and life to your years
The only questions that YOU need to answer is this. Are you prepared to put in some effort and spend R10 per day to be able to use a decent treadmill?
If you have read up to here then its time to TAKE ACTION. Stop looking for reasons to leave it another year.
In the famous words of Edward Stanley : “Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illnessâ€
