Better than a Treadmill


Why run on a treadmill when you can run outside? Personally I only run on the treadmill when I absolutely have to. Normally I will hop on the treadmill to warm up or if I can not make it outdoors to run. I am not a fan of the treadmill but they certainly are better than not getting some sort of cardiovascular exercise in your routine. I prefer the scenery of an outdoor run, the change of terrain, and feel of nature. You can’t get that on a treadmill! You can get a few ugly stairs from people reading their books while they walk. I guess the sound of the treadmill taking a pounding from a guy my size running at an increased pace breaks their concentration. Excuse my while I walk to the weight room with my head down in sorrow.. that where I belong right? All of a sudden you hear to the weight room meet head! That was a joke by the way. I only got ugly stairs the day I didn’t realize there was a line to use the treadmills. You cant beat the feeling of running outside regardless of the time of the day or year you will always see something different on every run. You can even keep track of your performance with a program runtastic that can download to your blackberry, android, and Iphone. You can track your history and even map out your run routes. I heard a rumor you can also get audio books on it as well… Kidding!
