We are very lucky here if for one week, the sun will shine straight for 3 days, even during summer time. I would rather walk outside than use a tread mill. But it always rains here. Which would you recommend motorized or manual tread mill?

I believe with a manual treadmill you push the belt yourself. As in, as you put one foot down, you push the treadmill's surface back with your foot and then put your other foot down. I would not recommend running on a manual treadmill as I bet it would be very difficult and a little unsafe.

The manual is cheaper but really hard to use so I didnt use it that much. You really have to use your own leg strngth to get it moving.The motorized one burns a lot of calories even though you are using the motor to help you along. I definitly preferred the motorized one.
