Mobile Treadmill
2008 November 13 (permalink)
A coworker sent me this video about a mobile treadmill, and it left me very confused. I've always thought the benefit of a treadmill was so you could run and exercise inside, away from the elements. I also thought it was a bonus for the treadmill to be stationary so you could do it all in the comfort of your home or gym. In the occasion you didn't need those two benefits, you could go outside and go for a jog around the block or on a trail. So I guess my thought is if you can go outside and run, and you actually want to go outside and run, why not just run on the ground instead of run on a treadmill?
Note: I used Kottke's trick for higher quality Youtube videos, so you can watch the video in all its glory.
