Should i buy a treadmill that has a weight capacity lower than my actual weight?!
Question: I really need a treadmill cause im 350 lbs. I was told by my doctor not to exercise outside because the last time i did i almost got heat stroke. I saved all my pennies and i finally can afford one ($448) but the weight capacity says 300lbs. I am afraid i may break it. I called walmart to ask them if i should still get it but the guy said that it should be fine as long as i'm not 500 lbs or something. Should i still get it or should i save up for something that holds 350 lbs? The ones that are higher weight capacity are more expensive and by the time i save up for them i'll prolly be dead by then. What should i do? should i still buy the one i saw?

WOW SWEETIE..
I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST TREADMILL 4 WEEKS AGO AND I'M LOVING IT.WALKING OUTSIDE MAY BE FREE,BUT WALKING INSIDE GIVES YOU A BETTER PEACE OF MIND...WHEN I'M WALKING OUTSIDE I HOLD BACK ALOT,BUT WHEN I'M ALONE IN MY HOUSE ON MY TREADMILL I GIVE IT MY ALL BECAUSE NO ONE IS WATCHING OR STARING OR LAUGHING....I THINK YOU SHOULD GET IT AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES..THERE PRETTY DURABLE...
It is important that you do start exercising now. 50lbs isn't a huge difference but you may not want to take the risk when you have saved up to buy it. The last thing you want is to damage it. I would recommend doing some other exercise indoors. There are walking DVDs you can buy and lots of different exercise videos. Even dancing can burn a lot of calories. If I was you I would probably wait until I had lost about 30lbs just to be safe...
