Treadmill ????

[Chuck Diesel]

My knees are shot, so I run on my treadmill at home. Is this just as beneficial as running outside? Are there any things that aren't good about treadmills? Thanks.

Buy an elliptical if your knees are shot. I dont think running on a treadmill is a good idea for you.

..... and please buy some good shoes !

they will prevent you from injuring

BTW, with treadmill you will be able to use inclination to work more your calves

A treadmill at 1-2% grade is equivalent to running outside cardio wise and distance wise, but I would agree on the Eliptical machine... my favorite are the Eliptical Cross Trainers, which have the moving arms as well for a good cardio workout. I can burn like 750 calories in around 40 minutes on it

it is a little boring at the end

but if you can stare at hot chicks around it is not that bad
