Purchasing a Treadmill for Christmas?

Does it make sense to purchase a treadmill for Christmas? As the holidays draw closer many of you are considering that ideal gift for your loved ones. A treadmill could be perfect, but there are a number of pros and cons to consider.

Cons

It Could be a Waste - You may be surprised that many people buy treadmills and never use them. There are actually a number of treadmills that are overpriced clothes hangers. Can you believe it? Before you invest all that money make certain that the treadmill will get used, unless you want to impress people when they come over with your unused home gym.

It Takes up Space - We’re not talking George Forman Grills. A treadmill is big and heavy. A top of the line treadmill weighs 345 lbs. Plan ahead for the space that it will occupy. And the biggest question is, will Santa be able to get it down the chimney.

It’s Not Cheap - If you plan to buy more then a toy <a
