Treadmill or Total Fitness Gym (Chuck Norris-type) - which is best?
Apr 10, 2007 by leadmetocoffee | Posted in Diet & Fitness
Hi, hoping you all can help me. I can only afford one workout machine. My main thing is that I want to lose weight and inches. We have a basic resistance training machine with a pulley and weights in the back but since I started using it 6 months ago, I have actually *added* some inches, and gained 7 pounds! I don't understand this and it's freaking me out. We eat healthy and watch our daily fat grams, have done that for years and continued to when we started using this. However, I have been slowly gaining since I began using it... so I have stopped. I am 37 and a mom.
My husband and I are considering getting something that would be more geared toward helping burn fat, and are trying to decide between a good treadmill or a generic total fitness gym. I have read that people have lost weight and burned fat with the tfg, but I also know a treadmill would do well too.
Which do you think would be best? Does anyone have weight loss experience with either one?
Thanx!
total gym.... hands down...
o.k. here is the thing, people and i mean it seems like everyone is loosing grip on reality when it comes to wieght loss. diets are to the point of making me mad, most do more harm than good. see what you eat is not near as important as how you use it. here is a fact, and remmeber this because as i just said it is fact. there is only one thing that burns fat...only one....it's called muscle. thats is fact. even cardio, yep your heart is a muscle.. and your body when hungry will first burn muscle first if it is not in use... so dieting without excersise is a step back wards. seriously.. and i have heard "but i dont want to be a muscle women/man" i'll tell you what when you start to look that way back off, i''ll garantee by then you will be skinniy. And its not hard seriously, just focus on using muscles, and you'll start loosing inches. i say inches because muscle wieghts more than fat, so initiallly you may gain wieght, but loose inches, and that is something to get excited about. Because that means you have more fat buring potential. and the inchest will go faster. Eventually you will balence out and the wieght will drop. Why do you think it was easier when you were younger?, it's not age, it's strength.
It can be anything lift your hands over your head till your arms are tired. hold your leg out straight till its tired, press on the wall, stand on your toes... these are things you can do anywhere anytime that will help strengthin your body..and ultimately make you loose wieght.. Trust me its fact. the problem is society is lazy, new inventions make life easier and easier, thats why as a whole we are getting fat because life is requiring less strength.

Where can I get a replacement safety key?
Oct 12, 2010 by mommybear-2 | Posted in Other - Sports
I have a Fitness Gear 830T treadmill that we got free from a neighbor. When we plugged it in nothing worked. I contacted the treadmill doctor online and he said that I might just need a safety key for it. Does anyone know where I can get one for this treadmill? Or the web site I can order one or maybe try to make one? And, also, how does one work and where do you put it? I never had a treadmill before and no nothing about them. Any info would be helpful. Tried to find the site for the manufacturer, but no luck.
Okay mommybear-2 - here we go...
As a part-time Private Eye and Pizza delivery driver, let's see what we can come up with:
1) You say you got this treadmill from a neighbor. After contacting the "treadmill doctor" and learning about a "safety key", did you go back to this neighbor and asked about the safety key?
If they had one, then you asked her to show you where the key goes to turn it on, right?
If the key was lost, did you ask if they still had the instructional manual that came with it?
Let's say that was lost or thrown away.
2) Now, you have to find out where they bought the treadmill. Take it from there.
3) If your neighbor also got the treadmill from someone else, or a yard sale, ask from whom. Then go to that person an ask all the right questions.
4) The fact that you have a name and a number - "Fitness Gear 830T", surely manufacturers of treadmills would lead you in the right direction.
5) One more - if in fact you do not need a safety key, there's a good chance that something is wrong internally. That's why when you plugged it in it did not work. Could be a faulty switch or something else inside.
That's it - that's all I got. Except a nice pepper one pizza. Let me know, mommy bear.
I can't promise it'll be delivered in 30-minutes of less.
Good luck in your search.
Later

TCD Traveler: A Letter from Big Cedar Lodge
31.12.69
Dear Dad,
Guess what I’m doing? Relaxing with a cool glass of water underneath a huge moosehead, in the lounge of the most incredible fitness center I’ve ever seen — at Big Cedar Lodge, outside of Branson, MO. It’s way more than a gym; it’s a HUGE log palace with a beamed cathedral ceiling. Animal mounts are everywhere, looking down on top-of-the-line exercise equipment. I ran on the treadmill, gazing out at Table Rock Lake and the Ozark Mountains. Sounds pretty nice, huh?
You’d love this place. Jerry and I thought it would be a nice getaway, and so far we haven’t been disappointed. You’ve been down to the Ozarks fishing, right? So you know it’s been a sportsmen’s mecca for centuries, originally home to the Osage Indians until they were brutally forced off to reservations in the early 1800s by, unfortunately, our forefathers. War and “progress” obliterated lots of natural resources, but in the 1920s, two men — Harry Worman and Jude Simmons — bought property here as country retreats for their families, so a large portion of the land was preserved. Their homes are still standing, both converted to upscale restaurants on the Big Cedar Lodge property. In the ’50s, the place became a dude ranch, around the time that the White River was dammed and 43,000-acre Table Rock Lake formed. Finally, in 1987, Johnny Morris, owner of Bass Pro Shops, bought these 800 acres, and began converting the property into what it is today — a relaxing, luxurious retreat for families looking to appreciate some outdoor recreation.
