Thank you to everyone for your very helpful responses to my previous question. I have one more before deciding. I'm a runner, could I use it on my fee

Yes. I have a disease that causes peripheral neuropathy. This causes muscle and nerve pain. You can lay it upside down and set your foot or feet on it. Where a sock if you ticklish. I all would lay it upside down on a ottoman or chair and lay my calves on top or it. Great product.

I'm not a doctor to say whether it's a good idea for use on the feet but I don't see why you couldn't.

I don't know why not---I'm not sure if it wouldn't be too much for feet but there's no reason why you couldn't put it up against a wall and press hard with your feet

It great for youe feet! You can use it for your body and feet, your neck everywhere!

It tells you that you can use on the feet, you put your feet on top of it and it massages the sole of your feet.

Yes, you can turn it upside down and put your feet on top or use on the side.

Yes! The download after your run is amazing. It is also much more accurate than devices that count your steps/revolutions bases on your stride/wheel size.

I would not recommend using this at this time .Wait till you get your weight down and then use it . I think it would be stressful on your knees ,hips and ankles plus set you up for shin splint problems.Go to u-tube and look up cross training.Lots of videos . Alternate upper body circuit training with your running. Gradually increase in volume and intensity-former weight training conditioning teacher - wrestling and cross country coach

yes as long as you are on an active plan with a fee. if on the $0 plan i think you would be ok

Not very. I took it on my running route and while it always gave the same distance, it was about 10-15% short every time. The route wasn't tree covered or among large buildings either. I guess if you know the error margin you can still work with it, and it might still be worth the price.

Based on my ownership and use of this machine for a few months, I would say you can safely jog on it for a 20-minute session every day, provided you don't expect to run faster than a light jog (4 to 6 mph), and your weight is not excessive. Keep the belt lubricated and it should be fine. If you're looking for a serious workout (faster speeds and longer sessions), you should consider a more advanced model.

I'll go J. Hamit one better -- I'm around 300 pounds, and still walking, not running, but this treadmill copes with me with absolutely no problems. I've used mine for over a year now, and I'd say go for it -- this is not one of the "cheapies". Do get the extended warranty; this advice from one of the people who worked on my previous Sears LifeStyler under maintenance contract (it lasted for 10 years; the Bowflex was my Christmas present to me 16 months ago, and the Sears one was sold to a member of my favorite church for $300 -- which the church got). Good Luck Treading!

I concur. I found that it under-counted by 25-35% during aerobic activity and by even more for casual steps (40-50%). I have had good success with Omron pedometers in the $7-$10 price range.

You can do both. You can definitely use it, but if you're looking to find the original owner contact customer service for fitbit. They are fantastic and do a great job of reuniting people with their lost fitbits!

This one is too heavy and bulky for running with, in my opinion. I should get one that is much smaller and lighter than this. It would bounce around and drive you crazy.

Hi Paul, $14.95 is the basic monthly fee from 5*, but my actual monthly fee was about $18 with taxes. Recently, I added insurance on my 5* unit since I tend to be clumsy, so now my total monthly cost (with my state's taxes) is a few cents over $21. It's more than worth it to me. 5* has so many services. I wear mine all the time and I have felt safe ever since I got it. Even at $21 it's well below the monthly cost of units offered by other companies. 5* responds immediately and professionally. The unit is well made and I expect it to last a long time - I've had mine for several months, expect it to do well for years. Hope this helps in your decision-making.

No, it is not. If you plan to use it for running, then you are most certainly going to want it; however, if you intend to use it for cross training then it is not needed.

There is a description right on the Garmin website that compares the two models (http://sites.garmin.com/forerunnerCoach/). With the 620 you get a LOT more information about how you run - cadence, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, V02 max, etc. It also helps coach you on how much rest time you should get and what your different race speeds should be.I bought the 220 because I don't want all of that extra information but I can see why other people would find it interesting. The 220 is an incredible watch, way better than my old Forerunner 405 - I can see the 620 being worth just $150 more if you want to dissect all of that data.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM. Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

I would suggest that you do. There's no way to estimate how long one would last for you; it all depends on how big your bunion is, how much friction there is in your shoe, and if you have any other abnormalities with your feet. I do enough running that I definitely need more than one on hand at all times. Why don't you try one first, prior to ordering multiples?

I am pretty confident you can. I run a very similar card in mine. Best place to check is to drop an email to the folks at Contour. They are fast and very helpful.
