Way too easy to bite the dust on the treadmill

[tripleblonde]

seriously, if you are watching the tvs and walkin pretty fast, it is way too easy to "side mosy" near the edges and complete embarrasment.....i've become so paranoid of falling as of late that i've become a "bar holder" which i absolutely despise as you look like a newbie and it makes your ass swing funny.....my only solution is to quit watching the televisions as i get too into the show and set myself up for disaster or slow the speed down and just walk longer....heh

 

[sweed]

yup i almost caught the sides a few years ago.... but i wont be a "bar holder" I just look down at all the controls and panel.... now i just use the eliptical or bike... much easier and you dont fall off!

 

[chrisoh]

how can you fall off? you're looking directly ahead at the tv and I'm sure most people can walk straight.

yes, but for me i get to walking so quickly and so into the tv shows that i start to walk sideways......maybe my equilibrium is off or i'm just drunk.....

I use to walk sideways on the treadmill when my arm was in a sling from the shoulder surgery. I kept trying to make left turns, which is hard to do on a treadmill.

I just listen if I'm jogging, but I can watch TV no problem, just walking.

Cardio is gay anyways. If its so good for burning fat... why are the people who do the most cardio fat after 2 years of doing it at teh gym all the time?

 

[Deleted member 33117]

Why waste recovery ability when I could utitlize the same energy to add additional weight trianign sessions, which yield a much higher post workout metabolic increase than cardio without causing as much muscle catabolism, and actually stimulate growth. More muscle mass equals a greater metabolism. I stay under 12% body fat year round, do not do hgh, and eat 7000 calories a day.... and have genetics which allow for rapid fat gain, since i was 35% bf when I started training. Weight training and diet are the key.

It worked like a champ for me...with a proper diet, but, I do see some fat folks, sweeting like pigs on the bikes, that are about the same size now, when I started at my gym, 4 months ago.

ulcaster, you would be surprised ifyou asked around on thisboard and found out who does and who does not do any cardio, and look at their pics. Jubei and quadsweep come to mind. I know some good sized and seriously lean guys who absolutely zero cardio. Doing it definately will impede muscle growth. It might only cost you a couple lbs a year, but those add up.

Once, while walking on the treadmill, I got to watching a firetruck go down the street & stop at a building that I could see.....walked right off the treadmill....

My mom fell off her treadmill about a month ago. What a funny story, needless to say she fell down, rolled off the treadmill and ended up with a whole bunch of shoe boxes on her head. She was fine just a scrape on her knee and her shoulder.

bar holder... lmao

I'm gonna use that one tomorrow

 

[Dial_tone]

I sit on the bike and watch the treadmillers crash

I find treadmils a waste of gym space. I suppose wacthing people fall off them is their only benefit.

 

[lamamacita]

I haven't fallen off *yet*, but my stuff (towels, CD player, water) always hits the belt and fly off somewhere.
