I'm now doing two, 2-mile trips each day at better than 4 mph, with 15 minutes of cooldown after each. Getting diagnosed pre-diabetic, coupled with kicking the cigarette addiction some years back, has been the best thing to happen to me in at least a decade. I've lost nearly seventy pounds, got my wind back, and I haven't felt this good since my early thirties, back when my kids were keeping me active. Best of all, I'm no longer even pre-diabetic.
If it wasn't 90+ degrees here - still - I would walk too. I don't need to lose weight though, I am actually drinking high protein/high calorie drinks to try to gain. I do need to build muscle mass though. With this device, the weather can't be my excuse not to do it.
Good on ya for getting healthier.
I'm your huckleberry.
