Let's be honest here. I don't find walking or jogging on the treadmill all that exciting. Walking or running outside in the fresh air with different scenery may be fun, but that's not an option right now. Staring at the empty cement walls in my basement is not particularly something I look forward to. But I know I need to stick with the treadmill. So I get on it, but after a few minutes I'm bored!

Making a commitment to exercise is a big deal. For me, when I commit to something, I don't take it lightly. I had found the motivation to get back on an exercise routine (bridesmaid dress and an encouraging co-worker) but a key part of this was finding the time to do it. My first thought was that I would do it after work. Sounds like a good idea, right?

I bought a treadmill in January and it was sitting in my basement collecting dust. I was all gung ho when I bought it, and had this ambitious plan that I was going to work out every day on it. I found I didn't have time to use our gym at work during office hours, so if I had a treadmill in my basement, surely I would use it every day!

Well, that didn't happen. I used it off and on. But then I made a commitment to myself to get healthy, and the treadmill was going to be a big part of that.

In another example of how Flaman Fitness is an advocate of health and wellness, the company has recently partnered with Athletics Alberta to to help promote the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle to Albertans.
