Running on a Treadmill May Not Duplicate Running on Ground | Lean and Mean

Running on a Treadmill May Not Duplicate Running on Ground | Lean and Mean: "Subjects systematically planted their feet in a flatter position on the treadmill than overground. Most of the lower extremity kinematic variables, however, showed inconsistent trends for individual subjects, depending on the individual subject’s running style, running speed, and shoe/treadmill situation. The differences were substantial. It is not-yet understood how the human locomotor system adapts to a particular treadmill running situation."

Elliptical Trainers | Low Impact Cardio and Muscle Endurance Training

Elliptical Trainers | Low Impact Cardio and Muscle Endurance Training: "The motion and impact of running on a treadmill or on the pavement increases bone density, strengthen tendons, and builds muscle. An elliptical trainer, by design, does not duplicate the treadmill running motion and is not as effective in this regard. School is still out on the exact amount of impact that is beneficial or when impact may become harmful."

Home Gyms Can Reverse the Aging Process | Lean and Mean

Home Gyms Can Reverse the Aging Process | Lean and Mean: "We expected to see gene expressions that stayed fairly steady in the older adults. The fact that their ‘genetic fingerprints’ so dramatically reversed course gives credence to the value of exercise, not only as a means of improving health, but of reversing the aging process itself, which is an additional incentive to exercise as you get older.” That doesn’t mean that strength training and aerobics are only for older folks. If resistance training can reverse aging, it can prevent it too."

Lean and Mean

Lean and Mean: "An elliptical trainer will give you a good aerobic workout if you exercise at sufficient intensity for sufficient duration for your particular physical condition. An elliptical will help build muscle endurance, which is something different than muscle strength, but just as important for athletic training. One often touted benefit of an elliptical trainer is that the workout is load-bearing while easy on your joints at the same time. Because you exercise in a standing position that is true so far as it goes, but it’s not the whole truth. "

Treadmill Buying info | Lean and Mean

Treadmill Buying info | Lean and Mean: "If more than one person will use the treadmill regularly then plan for the heaviest user and the most demanding use. A walking program can provide all the cardiovascular benefits of jogging so if the goal is to just stay in shape then a motorized treadmill with a top speed of 6 MPH or so would suit you fine. Walkers should also consider a manual treadmill. Serious runners want a top speed of 10-12 MPH and a belt area with a stride length that accommodates their natural running gait."
