The treadmill is now inside and unpacked. That counts as a workout in itself. Disposing of all the foam packing and the box it came in will also be a bit challenging. It folds away easily and neatly as advertised and can be moved fairly easily too. It seems solid and the belt is big enough I can run comfortably on it (for about 5 seconds, then exhaustion sets in). I probably should put shoes on if I want to do more than a very quick test though!
I still need to work out the best place to put it. At the moment I've got it under my desk, I'm not sure if it would be better to leave it there and move it if I want to sit at the desk, or to put it somewhere else entirely. I'll probably try a few different spots and then decide. It's very easy to move on the hard floor, fairly easy on a hard mat, and a bit hard on carpet as the wheels sink in and don't roll properly.
