My doc said no running on pavement or rock climbing, so now burn calories by walking

this treadmill has basic features such as distance, calories, and time and works great for walking/running.

but I still burn the calories,

Going 2 mph for 8 hours a day burns about 1,600 calories which is equivalent to the calories in a pound of cheesecake or two pints of ice cream every day

At my body weight--about 190 pounds--I can burn about 200 calories an hour when walking 2 miles per hour (the treadmill feels like it runs slow, so I set it to 2.5 mph)

That jerking kinda ruins my stride as I was not a natural walking sensation, but if you can imerse yourself into watching Tv or whateve distraction you might have to accompany you during your walk, you can ALMOST ignore it.

I'm sure this is great for people with smaller frames, but it definitely doesn't work as it should for medium to large ones

Just hit start and push the button to make it go as fast as you want

The speaker is annoying as

I've also noticed the instructions state you shouldn't be on the unit when staring it, but standing off the belt, on the side rails--this is odd, since it then requires you to hop on and it jerks as you do

The buttons push fine and work as they should

However it broke as of a week ago and it is because this machine was NOT MENT FOR RUNNING!!!!!!
