Myths- Running on a Treadmill

Some fitness facts that sound true may actually be myths or only partly true. If you want to be successful at slimming down and staying fit, it’s important to know the difference between fitness facts and fiction.












Running on a Treadmill Is Safer Than Outdoors

Running on a treadmill at your gym may seem safer, but that’s not necessarily so. Solomon says it depends on the treadmill, your condition, and your form. “Running incorrectly on a treadmill can be just as stressful as running outside," she says. If you’re not careful, using a treadmill can result in an injury or a fall. If you have knee problems, a treadmill may be just as stressful as a run outdoors. In either case, make sure you check with your doctor if you have any physical or medical issues before you start a running program.
