I am interested in purchasing a piece of exercise equipment to use. I
have a pilates dvd that I picked up, 2-10lb weights and some pilates
rope thingy that I'm sure I'll understand after I use the DVD.

However I wanted to get something that I know I can exercise
vigorously on and work up a sweat. But my problem is that I'm torn
between getting an exercycle or a treadmill.

I see a lot of people comment about running on the treadmill, but I'm
not sure which would be better - thoughts? opinions? Any input would
help as I'm not sure myself ;p

The only problem with an exercycle currently would be that all the
models I have seen have a maximum weight handling of 250lbs. With
that, I'd have to wait until I lost another 16lbs before I could get
one.

I'm kind of looking for something I can get before that, so I don't
have to put it off. However I just might not be looking at the right
brands/models.

Thanks in advance for your help!
