Treadmills

Hi Jim. I have an exercise machine. I use it for just ten minutes of hard exercise about an hour after eating when I know my BG will be at it's peak usually. Testing has showed me it brings my levels down quicker and lower. Treadmill will work the same of course

You're right. I much prefer running outside, but this week I'd kill for a treadmill in the garage.

Jim,

That all depends on you. Are you going to use it for running or walking? If you are a serious runner or a walker then I think that they are a great alternative, although when I'm in a hotel gym, I don't find that exercising in front of the TV is as fun as it seems in principal.

Personally I'd convince myself that I was going to use it, by putting in a few weeks of outdoor training.

All exercise is good at helping you control your BG, and some people suggest, 30 mins a day is the singest biggest thing you can do to influence your long term health outcomes.

Should do but all depends upon the duration you are using one, I have an exercise bike in my garage which I am using most nights but nothing beats getting out in the fresh air..... weather permitting! :roll:
