 |  I am needing some motivation
I don't know if it is the time of year. Or what the heck is going on. We don't have the extra money for the gym and it is getting colder here in Colorado to get outside so it is all treadmill all the time.
Ahhhhhh.....

Maybe you could purchase a stability ball and or some resistance bands, they are very inexpensive and you could get a good work out in the house.

Nell is correct (as usual!). You don't need the gym to work out....I enjoy my treadmill when I'm not cussing at it! Does yours have different programs on it? They can be interesting and challenging. I've found a lot of programs on demand with comcast here in Denver. They are free and even the 10 minute ones kick my butt. I know what you mean about being outside here (gloomy today)....since you asked, here's some motivation: get off your caboose and do something.

Same issue here in Minnesota 
I have 2 different Leslie Sansone walking videos. They can be a great workout...I like the 5 day one with 5 different programs. The one with some kickboxing is great!!

Ever thought of buying a jump rope? They will give you a real kick butt workout for about $10-! There's a reason prize fighters use them for conditioning, y'know!

Walmart had this awesome walking video for like 10 bucks i believe. Its by some leslie, its i think called start walking. She does 3 miles in 45 minutes i turn thr volume off her talking and listen to my ipod. I really enjoy it, the tredmill bores me after a while and living in upper michigan we have long hard winters also.

Thank you for the advice. I have my treadmill downstairs in front of the big screen with surround and I watch Vampire Diaries DVD's...I made a deal with myself that I can only watch the DVD's while walking so that has been a big help to me. The with surround it makes it so I can actually hear while I am walking.
I will check out some of the banks and other things tomorrow at the store. Thanks for the ideas.
Nurses Rock- I am in Colorado Springs- so the poopy weather is on its way. I live in the foothills so it is so hilly around here I hate walking in my own neighborhood. It used to kill me but it isn't as bad as it used to be. Walking around without 2 20 lb bags of potatoes and 1 10 lb bag of potatoes hang on my body is so much easier. Whew...

At least you have a treadmill. I don't and living up here is hard in the winter. I have plans on moving inside of the Superior Dome soon. Today is realy windy so I might go there to see what its like. I'll probably be the youngest person there but I don't care. After the holidays I'll be able to afford the gym so I'll be going there. Can't wait for that. Michigans Upper Penisula is a wonderful place to live but come winter walking outside it is hard. Looking forward to snowshoeing though.
