Treadmill running
[tred-mil ruhn-ing]
/trɛdmɪl ˈrʌnɪŋ/
Noun
A form of cardiovascular exercise performed on a motorized or manual machine that simulates walking or running indoors.
Treadmill running involves running on a machine with a moving belt, allowing for indoor exercise regardless of weather. It offers adjustable speed and incline settings to simulate various terrains. Treadmills provide a controlled environment for consistent pacing and interval training. They reduce impact compared to outdoor surfaces, benefiting joint health. Runners can track metrics like distance, time, and calories burned. Treadmill running is convenient for those with time constraints or safety concerns. It helps maintain fitness during off-seasons or injury recovery. However, it may lack the varied terrain and mental stimulation of outdoor running.
