Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enclave" data-source="post: 945255" data-attributes="member: 92754"><p>[USER=206962]@navigator[/USER] My wife has a manual tread mill and loves it .. She has a problem leg, so the treadmill has a handle bar that is held onto for walking, she says its a little like pushing a very light car slightly up hill. at first she was only doing 1 min on it ..now is reading a book for half an hour while walking on it ..just holding the bar with one hand.... she cannot walk in the woods with me and the dog as she falls over tree roots and stones, due to the foot/leg problems. The machine the wife has is its runner set at a slight angle .. this cannot be changed .. but have read others putting blocks under the back of the tread mill to make the walking area level .. As the wife says the tread mill is designed to be use holding onto the bar .. so if she stumbles ..she is holding onto the bar and should not fall. so a manual tread mill gets the full five ***** stars from us.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
