I dropped the tricep extension and crunch machine because of the potential back strain involved with both.  I’m doing much better now.  I’m starting to think any form of crunches are too dangerous to the back to bother messing with.  I’ll have to do the alternative ab exercises in the future.

I was initially thinking of one of the low end TRUE treadmills, or maybe even dreaming of a Landice L7, but I ended up settling on a Sole F80 Treadmill:

p5302128dt

I was able to run (with sock feet) on it for about a minute at up to 7′30″ pace.  Very sturdy.  It has a 3 CHP motor, and goes up to 12 mph and 15% incline.  It has the standard hokey 12V fans like on the Star Trac treadmills in the gym (or your home computer), but it also looks to have a nice little set of speakers and other features.  I’m really only hoping to bridge the days when I can’t break away to run outside or during lunch, but this little treadmill should also give me the occasional opportunity to run a long run indoors the next time storm debris is littering the streets outside.  The best part was, I only spent half my originally planned amount.



I also did partial leg presses 1×20 @ 100 lbs (have to take it easy on the hip joint still)
