Carrying a 200+ pound Treadmill up a flight of stairs--What a workout!!!

This morning I did 65 minutes on the elliptical. This past weekend I asked my husband to bring the treadmill upstairs in the bedroom so that I can do cardio and watch TV at the same time. He told me that if he brings the treadmill upstairs that it's never going back down stairs. OK, I'm cool with that. Well, I guess my husband forgot. Since the Wyoming primaries are tomorrow I need that treadmill upstairs ASAP. My husband is at work and won't be home until later on this evening. So, I decide that my workout would be to relocate the 200+ pound treadmill to my upstairs bedroom. I'm so sore--from head to toe. First of all, I couldn't figure out how to remove the side bars so I had to problem solve and maneuver the treadmill for a very long time until I got it positioned to go up the stairs. Next comes the part where I either try to pull it or push it up the stairs. Well, pushing it from the bottom up the stairs is very dangerous---I felt like the thing was going to come crashing down on me. So, next I try to pull it up the stairs, which would is even harder. So, it takes me over two and a half hours wrestling with this 200+ pound treadmill before I call it quits. The treadmill is located on the stairs as I'm typing and will stay their until he gets home this evening. I need to get some sleep before going to work tonight.

Carrying, pulling, moving, and twisting that treadmill was a serious workout. I'm going to be sore for days. Next time, to be on the safe side, I will have someone help me carry something the large up a flight of stairs. The treadmill could of fell on top of me or slid down and landed on top of me--wasn't a very smart thing to do. Every muscle in my body is screaming right now. I'm going to take a nap. Have a good day.
