New Toy!

Long story short... a friend at work sold me his super-cool treadmill for a really good deal because he got a better one. This thing was still unassembled and in the protective plastic wrap when we picked it up. The 'walkway' (not sure what the technical term is) is long enough that I can do a full stride and still have room. Do let's take a closer look, shall we?

As you can see, it has a little TV monitor built in. We have it hooked up so whatever is showing on the big screen will also show on the little one here (hence, Voyager). We can also hook up a DVD player if we wanted. The workout display can be shown along the bottom of the screen, the right side, or hidden. It shows your distance, time, pulse, calories, and speed.

Here's the "command console" with the quick set buttons for incline and speed, and the program buttons for Cardio, Weight Loss, etc. There's also an input jack for hooking up an MP3 player (sold separately). The thin black strip above the screen? That's the two-speed fan.

So this is our new workout buddy. No excuses on not being able to fit in some exercise. If we have time to watch TV, we can exercise at the same time now. Way cool, I'm super excited to try it out tomorrow!
