Is running on a treadmill as effective as running outside?Updated a year ago

Running on a treadmill indoors has the same benefit as running outside, with some additional benefits including: 

  • The convenience of working out at any time and during any weather without leaving your home. 
  • Running on a treadmill burns the same amount of calories as an outdoor run. However, having control over the speed and incline gives you the ability to choose the intensity that works best for you. This optimises your results and allows you to burn more calories and build leg muscle.  
  • Lifespan treadmills have advanced shock control cushioning, giving you peace of mind by protecting your knee and ankle joints from the harsh impact of running on footpaths or trails and reduces the risk of injury.
