Have a Proform 520X treadmill – walking belt jerks while walking and running?
It was given to me a few months ago asn has had this problem since we got it. When you walk or run on it, the walking belt jerks occasionally. What could this be? It doesn’t do it when no one is on it, and speed doesn’t seem to matter. I really need to get this repaired as I can’t afford a new one and really can’t afford a gym membership right now. My neighborhood also isn’t the best for walking at the times I have available for exercise. I have walked on it a few times like it is, but it hurt my knees and I am afraid I will end up falling on it or something if I don’t get it fixed. Does anyone know what it could be and about how much the repair might be?

treadmill vs. elliptical machine ?
I need help.
I have been working out on my treadmill 6 days a week and also doing weight training every other day. I do lots of squats and stuff. well since I have been going faster on the treadmill my knees have been starting to hurt. right under the knee cap. I know its the treadmill cause It wasn’t till I started using it did they hurt. but it was about a week after when i started to go at 5mph. for 28 min. well Its been a week since i have worked out and my knees still hurt ?? what gives? I would enjoy my workouts so much better if my knees didn’t hurt. would getting a elliptical help ? i know it won’t be so hard on the joints but will it still give me the same workout ? like will my legs still get the same workout as treadmill. ?? I’m mainly looking for cardio to drop weight and I weight lift for muscle toning ? but the joggin has helped tone my legs even more.

What is the proper way to use an elliptical machine?
I am fourteen next week. I use my elliptical machine about 15-30 minutes about every other day. I just started this routine (before, I used it like once every two weeks) this week and my right knee bothers me when I kneel down, squat or get on my knees. I heard this is because I am not using the machine properly (my foot doesn’t move, but my heel goes up when my leg slides back.) Sooo, do you use it properly?
And my machine isn’t big. It’s actually pretty narrow and small.
