You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
My friend has a respiritory condition and not very mobile, also has to be careful with the weather this time of year.
I was thinking that a basic treadmill set up indoors would be of benefit, or at least worth a try....so for that reason they don't want to spend hundreds on one just in case they don't get on with it.
I've seen there are basic ones around £200 ish on Ebay/Amazon. Are these any good as a starter?
We are talking trying to walk for under a minute I would say and build up from there, will get advice from the respiritory physio on a programme.
Just think it's worth them trying to see if it helps.
Any pointers for machines that would suits their needs would be great.
TIA
Looking at this myself - ideally something that folds up, max speed 12-15kph.
Also to add that I've looked on Facebook market place but have no idea what 2nd hand ones are ok.
those cheap ones are a bit ropey but should be ok for someone walking, maybe a bit of jogging.
heavy duty ones are *very* heavy and also big, don't underestimate the difficulty of getting it transported and instsalled.

This! Having won an almost gym quality one that MrsMC wanted upstairs....
I might splash out on one of these for next winter, if they are out by then and not far to expensive*
*it will be.
