A friend knew I like to run and offered me her treadmill for free. I brought it home and set it up. It look smaller then the ones at the gym. My niece (all 115 lbs of her) who lives with us was the 1st to use it and she enjoyed a good half hour workout. The next morning I asked my wife to set the alarm an hour early as I wanted to run on the treadmill.

I got up did my stretching stood on the side rails and started it up. As soon as my feet hit the tread it stopped moving. I stood on the rails and the tread started moving again. Back and forth ..

I told my neice this when she got up and went to work.

Came home that night... and there with big smiles on their faces were my wife and niece.

My wife asked how was the treadmill? I told her it stopped working when I ran on it.. She said "when exactly did it stop moving" . I said everytime my feet hit the Tread --- AH! They were being "B" busters!!!

I guess I deserve it because usually I'm the one who does that to everyone else in the family.

Moral - Buy a GOOD treadmill.
