Treadmill- an Effectual Fitness Equipment that can Hardly be Avoided
To what extent the above statement is true?

Need urgent suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

When I think about people driving to the gym to walk on the treadmill then stopping at McDonalds on the way home and getting organic vegetables and diet pills and coffee milkshakes and then complaining that everything is too expensive and they are too fat and there's nothing they can do about it.

The sick thing is that if you just walk to the market everyday to get your dinner like people have been doing for the existence of all thing up till the past 50 years in America, you'd solve all your problems at once.

I think the treadmill is like a hamster's wheel. And just as Walmart's clothing brand is Faded Glory who's logo is an American flag, riding your pod to the health center to stay fit because you don't move in your cubical, is a disturbingly ironic situation.

The only credit I give the treadmill is for training in the winter. If you need to run like hell in Montana in December, a machine exists for that. But don't walk on it in July and say you never get out much.
