Treadmill
Im assuming that it is but I figure it doesnt hurt to ask, is the treadmill easier on your legs than running? Better by a wide margin?

I know, the fatties alwayse hold them selves up. this is wrong. and when you enter your body weight you have to add 30lbs. and on the ones i use you can crank up the intensity. Originally Posted by ForemanRules

I came across this article with several medical journals as sources. Basically, it seems to say that jogging outside takes a little bit more energy, and this amount of energy increases with speed. There is a lot of other good information regarding inclines, sports specificity, etc.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
