I’m thinking of getting a treadmill and before I get one I want to know if it’s probably going to make my electric bill high. Also, what brand treadmill would you recommend?

   use ur treadmill/exercising bicycle as an electric source. the more u run the more energy you’ll generate, killin 2 birds wit 1 stone.

   No, treadmills run off a very simplistic motor
   you shouldn’t see any change to your power bill at all, even if you use it 2 hours a day

   the big consumers in your house are
   heating, cooling, water heater, and tube televisions
