Gym Newbies and Treadmill Exercise

December 28, 2007 on 9:40 am | By admin | In Health & Fitness :: Exercise & Meditation

The gym's starting to get busier. Guess the New Year's resolution people are getting an early start this year. I find it amazing how often these new members crank the exercise treadmills up to the highest incline, then lean on the handles as they walk. It seems like experts have been saying forever that if you need to lean on the hand grips, the incline is too steep. Some of these people look more like they're on a stepper than a treadmill. I guess they don't pay attention to fitness experts. Still don't see how they could have missed this bit of info. I swear I've seen stories on TV about it four or five times. I have this urge to say something, but I bite my tongue and go about my business.
