We bought a treadmill last month for $600. I've used it twice. When you're depressed it's kind of hard to make yourself get up and exercise, even thought that's probably what would make you feel better.

My mom had the same problem with her treadmill, until she did an interesting thing: She rearranged her room so that the computer was on a bookshelf, at standing eye height. Then she put the treadmill facing the bookcase. So whenever she's surfing or checking her email, she walks. It's not like she has an exercise routine and uses the computer to entertain her while she does it--she just forces herself to walk every time she wants to use the computer, even for 2 or 3 minutes. She says it's worked really well for her.
