Night Elf Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My treadmill broke and it was going to cost several hundred for parts and labor, so we went to a used store and bought one for $400 and talked them into free delivery. So they are scheduled to deliver after 4:00pm today and it's been raining all day. Thunderstorms are predicted around 5:00pm. The guy doesn't have a box truck so he can't deliver in the rain. I completely understand and I don't even want him to take a chance of moving it when it might start raining on him, but I'm so annoyed because I want to walk. I haven't walked since Friday. I obviously can't walk outside today and I haven't exercised since Friday. I just want my new treadmill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It's not the same, but there are free walking-type workouts on youtube. I know for sure Jessica Smith has some. Leslie Sansone might also. Or you can even just march or job in place while watching tv? Hope you get your treadmill ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I am sorry. Do you have rain gear? You can walk outside even when it rains, if you wear proper attire. Not as fun as in sunshine, but you sound desperate :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been exercising at least 4 days per week for 45 minutes each day since February. I only stopped when I pulled that muscle in my back. Normally I use the treadmill for a few weeks and then just stop because I'm tired of doing it. I vowed to make it a true habit change and the last time I walked was last Thursday. Now my DH is telling me it's supposed to rain tomorrow too. Good grief! I totally forgot about Leslie Sansone. I do have a dvd of her somewhere in this house. I'll have to hunt it down. Thanks for the reminder Kassia! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 If you don't find your DVD, can you go walk around a mall or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’ve been known to do laps in my local Walmart or Menard’s while listening to a podcast on my earbuds. Not ideal, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Can you turn on the radio and dance? :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Do you have steps that you could run up and down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 I can't imagine walking in Walmart for 30-45 minutes. I'd probably get distracted by displays anyway. :) I'm not near a closed mall, only an open one. I found the Sansone tape. I'm going to do that. My store called me and rescheduled for tomorrow. He doesn't want to take a chance and I agree with him. So I'll probably be doing Sansone at least two days. It's not as fun though. When I walk on my treadmill I watch old British comedy. I thoroughly enjoy my shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
