Hi all! I'm new to this board, not to ivillage, and I just bought a Treadclimber! I am 30 and have found that since having my son 3 years ago, and now turning 30 last January, my body is just too flabby! I practice yoga and have been doing that since I was a child actually, but I recently decided I need more than that, so I bought a treadclimber. I owned an elliptical in the past, but this is definitely a better workout, I am loving it so far, and have only had it for a week. My husband also just got a huge universal gym weight center thing for free from a friend, so I plan to start using that a little too. I am very excited to hopefully get into better shape. I dont' think I have a lot of weight to lose, but I want to get rid of some of the flab and get my heart in better shape. Even though I have only been using my treadclimber a week, I already feel like my metabolism is up. I notice that my stomach is growling a lot more often than normal which is a good sign of my metabolism being increased from before.

Hi there and welcome aboard!

Congrats on your new TreadClimber! I know you will love it and if you keep using it often, you will really see the pounds drop off and the "flab" too. Great job!

Anyway, I hope you find a lot of sound advice and many health-minded friends. Again... welcome!

Welcome to the board. It's great that you're enjoying your purchase. It helps if the exercise is enjoyable. I just started venturing into the world of yoga. It's tough, but there's something really great about it as well. I thought I needed it to add a little balance to the cardio and weights I already do. Actually, it sounds like we have both rounded out our workouts rather nicely with our additions.


I'm sure you'll enjoy this board, lots going on here.

Nice to meet you! This is great board that will keep you inspired and give you wonderful ideas on eating and exercise. I have been doing yoga off and on for almost 3 years though I still consider myself a beginner. I just got a replacement and a couple new Rodney Yee DVDs. Look forward to hearing all you have to add to the board.
