I live in a very small modular home with no large basement family room. In fact I have no basement at all. Whatever I buy has to be the small, economical size, it seems. Recently I decided that I really wanted to start walking off some of those extra winter pounds that I have put on in the past few months. I was so pleased to be able to find a good quality portable treadmill that will fit in my bedroom and still leave room for the bed. This will be so convenient on days when I cannot get outdoors to walk. I will be back in shape in no time.
