Treadmills

So is 60 min of walking on a treadmill the same as 60 min of regular walking outside? I always feel more tired off a treadmill.

It depends on how fast you are walking. Typically because you are locked into a steady pace on a treadmill you will walk further because when you walk outside we tend to slow down at times to look at things around us.

Glad your feeling the burn. Way to go getting your 60min workout in.

Hi there, you are better off outside as the ground is not flat, working against the gradient, less likely to get bored and you find outside your body will want to walk faster. Before you know power walking will then jogging and lead to running. I tend to burn more calories walking outside.

I agree with this, when you do it outside you tend to go slower especially if you are tired. compared on a treadmill where the pace is constant

Distance is going to be the factor you want to compare here (unless your area is excessively hilly). I'd be willing to bet that 60 min walk outside doesn't get you as far as that 60 mins on the treadmill.

Hello folks been a while since i was on here came across this post of mine and thought i would share with you guys a funny moment. So when i got my treadmill my brother in law put it together for me being that i just had surgery and could not lift. When i was finally cleared i started to use it and after 40 min i was huffing and puffing away had trouble doing the full 60 min. I chalked it up to getting out of routine on the count of surgery. After a couple days went by about a week things got a bit easier not alot but some i was able to do 60 min but still drenched in sweat. I asked you guys about it then i started reading the manual and found out it had an incline adjustment which is manually adjusted omg i have been on an incline all this time. On the plus side I CAN DO 60 MIN ON AN INCLINE!
Yall can laugh now.
