Sunday’s Washington Post tells the story of the treadmill. Fifty million Americans uses treadmills, but I was surprised that so many seem to hate it.
As the weather turns colder, Jen Forman will do what she’s always done to get her runs in: She’ll go to her treadmill in her home, press start and run until she’s done.
And she will hate every moment of it.
I think treadmill time is a great opportunity to learn. I use it to practice foreign languages and listen to podcasts.
Seen from one perspective, treadmills are an absurd contrivance, like those spinning wheels in hamster cages.
Exactly!!!
I wonder if hamsters have good cardio-vascular fitness.
