How can I convince my dad to move the treadmill.....?

Question

To my room? I really need to lose weight and I have lost about 18 pounds, but its almost winter and i live in minnesota. I really don't like running in the winter in minnesota. We have a treadmill, but its in our gross unfinished basement. No one uses it. I can't stand it down there at all, there's rats and mice and whatever, i just hate it. But I think it will fit in my room if i get rid of a few things, i got the master bed room so its big enough. But i really don't think my parents will go for it. How do I convince them its a good idea? (p.s. i'm 14, and the gym won't let you join until your 17 in my town)

Answer 1

Just explain to your parents that you want to lose weight and that it is the best thing for you. I'm 14 too and live Minnesota also. funny right

Answer 2

If i were you I would just move your room around to make sure you have enough space and then ask him. Just tell him exactly what you wrote here. I don't see why your parents would say no. I think that they should be happy that it is finally getting use and not sitting in the basement.

Answer 3

Tell them exactly what you just told us. Add that you will respect quiet hours, and not use it when anyone is sleeping. (mine is in my room, and it's a bit loud, but no worse than the washer/dryer.

Answer 4

give your parents a reason to let you move it explain its not used the advantages of moving it and if you can and this will help with exercise offer to lift up to your room without help parents normally just don't want more work to do so take most of the responsibility and they shouldn't care

Answer 5

Just tell him that you can't run in snow and cold, and you want to stay fit and healthy and that you will take good care of it.

good luck!

Answer 6

lol. You got them to give you the master bedroom, but they won't let you have the treadmill that no one is using in your room?? Come on, I think if you tell him why you want it and that you won't use it late at night he will do it.
