Even if you put your treadmill in front of a TV and will as much as you can its better than running a mile a day.Also running can help you loose weight but sprints will tone and firm.

They are way cheaper than a treadmill, fold up behind the door, and you can do a lot of other exercises on them. They work great and are super easy on the knees!!!

I agree taht running outdoors is much more interesting...lots more to see, hear/experience but running on a treadmill has its benefit too. If you are going to run on a treadmill you want to eleveate it though to maximize the workout. Back to top da3rdxsacharm Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:33 am    Post subject: Outdoors. Running on a treadmill makes you feel like a hamster on a wheel. The scenery never changes. It gets very boring.Plus if you run outdoors and you decide to quit, you still have to get home one way or the other, even if you just walk home.

You can buy devices to track pace .It all depends on person. Back to top Wright Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2007 6:40 am    Post subject: They both are effective if done properly. However, I would go with outdoor jogging for the simple fact, that you can add other elements into your workout. Also you must remember, losing weight doesn't exactly mean you are toning your body. U must add in exercises that improve your muscle tone. Another element that matters is timing, you should try and exercise the same time everyday, eat right, and most importantly get the proper rest. I hope this has helped. Back to top
