We've had a few e-mails about fitness equipment and truth be told, we don't use much of it. We have an exercise ball, a manual treadmill (which we think is a York treadmill, but we got it on freecycle and it is quite old) and a set of weights. Other than that it's yoga books, pilates books and a handful of exercise dvds that have been gifted to us.
But because you lovely readers (namely Fi) have asked about home fitness sets we decided to do a bit of investigating. That is when we discovered that Sarah - my workmate, featured in many a TBT post - owns a treadmill. And Sarah's treadmill isn't just any treadmill it is a Maxima Fitness Treadmill, the treadmill that has been getting rave reviews on amazon. Apparently they come and set it up for you in your home!
L LOVED it! lol, she spent an hour and a half jogging on it. and you guys should know that L hates gym treadmills, she hates our manual treadmill and refuses to go out jogging when Em and I decide to brave the weather.
Because of Em's diabetes she had to take it slow, so she opted to increase the incline and walk at a gentle pace for 20 minutes.
Most importantly Sarah and her husband love their treadmill, they both use it everyday and they swear that this treadmill alone has helped to increase their fitness level and stamina. As far as they are concerned it is money well spent, saving them on gym fees, parking and other fitness equipment.

So, after a bit of sweet talking and the promise of some macadamia cookies, we were given a tour and access to the Maxima Fitness Treadmill. Let's talk features:
- The treadmill folds away without difficulty, which is perfect for making the most of your space.
- It's provided with 3 sets of weights, which have cute storage slots on each side, and a sports bottle.
- It has built-in speakers and a plug for you to connect your mp3 player up, for music while running. The speakers aren't very loud but it does overcome the problem of headphones falling off.
- An LED console display featuring speed, distance,time calorie, pulse incline, track, and speed profile.
- 48 built in programmes.
- A speed range of 1 - 18 kilometres per hour
- An incline range of 1 - 16%
- A manual programme feature for specific distance, time or calorie consumption targets.
- A safety cut off cord.
What we thought:
It is so easy to use, I jumped on without taking a second look at the manual and it was amazing! It was easy on the joints, for some reason every time I use a treadmill at the gym my ankles and knees end up feeling really weak. But my joints were left feeling fine, which was such a relief because I really hate that feeling.
