As these challenging and creative workouts show, the treadmill can be a much more valuable part of your active life than just an acceptable substitute when you can’t get outside.
Treadmill workouts have always been a necessity for me. As a human rights lawyer, I am frequently working in places where it is too unsafe to run around outside. Recently, I spent an entire year living and working inside an armed compound in Afghanistan, where stepping outside the compound walls was strictly forbidden.
As much as I loathed the treadmill, I hated the thought of giving up running even more, so I worked to make my indoor workouts as interesting as possible. With a little bit of ingenuity and a lot of time, I developed this unique repertoire of workouts to choose from, which kept me fit and entertained. Treadmill workouts continue to be a necessity in my life, but I no longer prepare for them with dread.
With these five unique workouts, you may look forward to time on the treadmill, too. Remember to warm up for at least 5 minutes before trying any of the exercises below.
