My treadmill gets used all week. Wifey hangs laundry on it Mon - Fri and I run on weekends

I honestly can't get on with treadmills - even doing 5km on one bores me to death. I swear time slows down!

There is a reason the pros use concept 2s

Which doesn't apply to non-pros probably.

Only if you use it. Most exercise equipment doesn't get used.

Trouble is, if you do use anything regularly that is not very expensive it soon falls to bits. I'm not exactly Hercules but my very robust looking cross trainer in the garage has been welded several times. Even the 2 1/2" diam. main shaft broke, I repaired it with an old gate post.

Why not give the OP some exercises? Prefably use language that no mortal can understand to confuse them and make them feel small?

Did you say something about doing Tabita or did I just dream that?

Tabata, it's character building.

I thought this thread was about a Chinese water tower.

Thats not a water tower - its a monument to the artist's phyallus. Or both.

Blimey! Just seen the price of those things.
For that price I expect it to be constructed from a decent endangered tree species, not some cheap shoddy pine from B&Q.

I should imagine they'd get "blended"

Can you keep fish in it?

That way you could justify its presence in your living room.

Or wine.

I like the look of those. Is it noisy?

They're not bad, quite quiet and the swish of the water is relaxing too!

Is that like the one Kevin spacey has in House Of Cards? I always thought that was just some kind of really retro machine.

Yeah it is. In one of the episodes you see a part of the machine snap and Kevin Spacey hurts himself on it. With there being some much product placement of the machine I was surprised Waterrower let them put that in the story.

Anyway I bought my Waterrower two years ago and wish I'd bought it earlier: great bit of kit and has much less of a footprint than a Concept 2. Best thing I've bought in years.
