Question by Me! ^^: Are you supposed to run or walk on treadmills?
I know you can do both.

But I was wondering for at the gym… I usually walk on the treadmills there, because when I run I’m self conscious that I’m making to much noise when I put my feet back up and down super fast on the spinny thing.

Answer by sweety_marishka
Yes, you are allowed to go to w/e you want, its just when you take your card, if you are not 18, your parents would have to sign up for you, so they would be the owners of the contract, but you are freely allowed to use any machine in there

Question by Adam G: Whats the best equipment for losing weight treadmills vs ellipticals?
I am trying to stay fit and I find it so much easier having a treadmill or elliptical home vs running around the block. To me it is so much easier, and I dont have to worry what im wearing or being embarrassed sweating alot. I dont have to sweat running in 100 degree weather. So I convinced my mom to get me a treadmill but her price range is $ 400 max.. Ive found tons of great deals on treadmills and now im wondering

Which is better, a treadmill or an elliptical. What is the difference?

Answer by iammaurer
Personally I like ellipticals much better than treadmills. The amount of weight you lose will always be a product of how hard you try and how often you use it….one isn’t really ‘better’ than the other.

I remember a couple of years ago there was a song that became famous because the band made a music video on youtube. It was really funny with people jumping back and forth/dancing on treadmills. I just remember it was really catchy.

Question by Rollie H: In the interest of safety, why not have treadmills on the racetrack for the horses?
You could place the treadmills side by side and the horses would run on them instead of the track. The first horse to accrue a mile and a half(or whatever) on the treadmill wins.

Question by Blue Were Rhino: Can fitness gyms across the World use their treadmills to generate Green power?
Could gyms across the World use their treadmills, bikes & weight machines to generate electricity? And provide power to their own lights and maybe even to the grid – practical or impractical?

Much of the homeless have always been Green by recycling cans. Maybe homeless shelters could get treadmilss from Gyms acquiring new ones and have an option for the homeless to make some money by generating electricity.

Best answer:

Answer by Johnny U
thats a good idea! you should sell kits that pople could put on their home treadmillas and power a home generator to decrease their own use of electricity. not sure if it would make a dent but it might. gyms could reduce member fees this way too. it would help them stay competative. like i said, not sure how much impact it would have but worth more investigation.

You know how treadmills have “weight loss programs” or “aerobic programs”? Will you lose more weight faster by doing one of those or just simply running on a treadmill?
