6 Ways to Beat Treadmill Boredom
Most of us covered in cold and snow are forced to move our runs inside. If you don't have access to an indoor track, then a treadmill is the next best thing. While I'm grateful that this machine allows me to keep up with my runs, the repetition of staying in one spot can be beyond boring.

Winterize Your Running: Treadmill Tips
It is a common trend during late Autumn to start moving workouts indoors. Treadmills and spin classes are staples of Winter fitness. If layering up to brave the cold keeps you from running, then move your workout inside, but keep these tips in mind:
- Ease into your treadmill runs.
What to Look For When Buying a Treadmill
Even though it's warm, you may not like exercising outside. Maybe your neighborhood isn't safe, you're worried about unhealthy sun exposure, or you have allergies. It's great to belong to a gym and use their equipment, but nothing beats the convenience and comfort of working out at home.

The childhood obesity epidemic might be tapering, but it is still an important public-health issue. People are trying to figure out how to conquer the problem by downsizing adult exercise equipment.

Are You Feeling It? The Treadmill Walkstation

Get It Up, Your Heart Rate That Is: Running With Sprints
Are you guilty of putting on cruise control while running on the treadmill 30 minutes without ever touching the resistance, incline or speed? I'll admit it — from time to time, I do this but in the end I always find it extremely boring.
