- Is running on a treadmill as good/ healthy as running outside?
Let’s face it, sometimes getting a good, brisk walk on a treadmill, or knocking out a 5K in the gym is all we can manage to stick to our fitness goals. Are we missing out on some key benefits by running on a treadmill instead of taking our run outside, though?

Running on a treadmill would seem to offer the very same benefits. If you run at the same pace for the same amount of time, even adjusting the incline to match the challenge of running an actual hill outdoors, you’re still going to burn the same number of calories and build the same number of fast-twitch fibers in your muscles. You’ll improve your cardiovascular health just the same, too, but here’s what you aren’t getting out of your treadmill workout in the gym:
1. Being outdoors improves your mood. Any cardiovascular exercise helps to create feel-good endorphins that contribute to the “runner’s high” we’ve all heard about, but mother nature offers a color palate - blues and greens - known to help us feel happy. Then there’s the sunlight. The last time I checked, most gyms are lit with grotesque fluorescent lights which make even the most fit athlete look like death warmed over. They also don’t expose us to Vitamin D - an important nutrient which helps us feel great, but that also fights against cancer, bone deterioration and even seasonal depressive disorder.
2. Being outdoors can help attention restoration. There is a disorder named for our inability to focus on anything. If you’ve noticed your attention span is about as long as a flea, then you likely need to restore your cognitive abilities. Taking your run, and other physical activities outdoors gives your brain a rest. So, though might be able to watch the next episode of your favorite television program while on the treadmill, simply being outside will give your mind the rest it truly deserves. Your body also gets what it craves too - movement!
3. Being outdoors reduces the incidence of cardiac arrest, Running outside can help decrease inflammation, spurs weight loss, and can even help you sleep better.
4. Exercise already slows aging by helping the body scavenge free radicals, but being outdoors increases anti-aging factors by at least 35%. Research published by the Journal of Aging health found that spending time outdoors even helps people suffering from dementia and other diseases more commonly found among the elderly.
5. Being outdoors will inspire you to run farther. Boredom is a big reason we don’t make it that extra mile when we’re clocking them. Researchers have found that simply being outside can inspire us to run a little farther, or challenge our bodies in a new way. Maybe we take a different route or run downhill instead of uphill for a change. The added variety is good for muscle confusion, and the sights and sounds of being outside can make running much more interesting.
The next time you think of driving to the gym, finding your favorite treadmill, and knocking out a few miles, reconsider taking your workout outdoors. You’ll be smarter, happier, and live longer for it.

I have my treadmill outside so I’m good
Ingenious!
Hahaha
Lol
You win the comment section!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I met my husband on an outdoor run, just saying ;)
Pewdiepie Official that's the dream :)
UNETHICAL COMPANY REVIEWS true unfortunately
it won't last... he was after the bouncing stuff
Nature Good nice one
Awesome! Best wishes for both of you.
"Being outside improves your mood"
Me living in Florida surrounded by Alligators and all kinds of other dangerous animals and meth heads: 😐
That’s the thrill the more dangerous it is the better.
@@MonsterValidation nothing like battling a group of flesh eating meth heads
Don't forget the mosquitoes, dogs, the rain once in a while.
Advantage of running outside:
When I am running outside and some joggers overtook me then my speed became even double !!!!
yaassss it works as a motivation for me actually
Im always wanna turn those jets tho when someones next to me
so true..
RIP grammar.
Altair RIP originality
The girl in white yoga pants at my gym elevates my mood and improves my focus
This wins my mind
😭
You have closed this argument
Yeah cuz you like her XD
You just spoiled the video😂😂😂😂
I do both because I like to be outside and when it's rainy I'll just go on my treadmill.
Great ! Thats how it should be. :)
Hahahaha
good boy
Description Untitled Go Rainy !
being in the rain is so healthy
Same here
The first 50 seconds are wrong. Running outdoors requires more effort, burns more calories and builds more strength. Treadmill running is much better than nothing but it doesn't compare to being out on the road in any way.
John Karr - I agree!!
B-Man 123 I don't
Thank you!!!! On a road you are pushing your body forward through a lot more effort, on a treadmill it's pushing itself backwards.
treadmill runs are easier on the knees and shins. running outdoors, youre prone to damaging your bones faster.
Michael Westin stfu weak fucka
treadmill can press stop anytime while if you run outside to a place then got no choice you can either run or walk back.
keeps me going every time, I start thinking "well I can't hang here" and keep on going on
Very true. Plus, when on a treadmill, I can't stop looking at the timer, which drives me crazy.
kit kat on a tredmill I think well I don’t have to walk back so I can just go all out
Helps with commitment...
I changed my mind outside is way better I get chaif on my legs from 10 mins on a tredmill or 10 mins walking on a concrete straight path and be in pain for days or I can do a 7 hour hike and be 100% after just 2 hours of rest
Treadmill = escape severe elements or fear of running in the dark, easy on the joints, quick access to other gym equipment when needed
Outside = every other running session
Do both, or whatever you enjoy more 😁
Take a treadmill outside
genius
genius spotted
N4FZ Gold N Holy stokely dokely that's genius indeed
N4FZ Gold N You're going places
fu*king genius
Plus the time passes faster when you are running outside, and you can meet someone really cute :))
Quick Fix yeah I like to meet people I'm romantically interested in when I'm all sweaty and disgusting.
Based on the location
Quick Fix very true! I was running around our local cemetery when I noticed a cute girl looking at me. I eventually began talking to her and we ended hooking up. Awesome experience 😉
Stevethe11th maybe they are sweaty and disgusting to lmao
Stevethe11th i thought getting sweaty and disgusting was the point of meeting people.
Running on the Beach is just the best
Rony Ro and then colliding with a female is the best feeling ever
I AM ALIVE !!!!! How if u got shoes on ??
Rony Ro burn more calories..ever play football on in sand?
Not for people with injuries 😢😢
Rony Ro Well I don't live near a beach but running by the lake is great.
I’m too shy to run outside .. like id feel everyone would literally stare at me lol.
I definitely stare at you lol, but i like people who don't care what others think so 🤷
Would you care if you seen some guy running? Worst case senario they noticed and you made them feel bad that they aint healthy.
yeah agree.. People running outside are mostly looking healthy and fit unless me.
if you want to hit your goal whether it be outside or inside do it, don’t let anything stop you push yourself and think of the background as a laughing stock cause there gonna see you step up better while there just doing nothing.
I miss running outdoors, too many crazy people in my neighbourhood to do so.
Maggie F - This. Then you have to deal with weather cooperating, dogs, seasonal allergies.
qdllc true. I got bit by an illegally unleashed dog last time I went running....so yeah, I treadmill it now.
Too bad. 😢 I love my neighborhood.
@Jefferson Ore True. Tracks will work
Here is a solution, go to the beach and run there.
Running on a treadmill is boring AF.
urweetoddid right i hate the treadmill
keith brown mma and boxing i have a treadmill in my house and i have a tv hooked up so i could watch movies and be satisfied
Mario Weenersnetchal just watch some Rocky 4 😂😂
Mario Weenersnetchal I'm just going to be honest if you are a boxer and you don't run outside you're doing something wrong outdoor running is one of the most essential workouts for boxing
Sgt Virus9 what about mma lol
I rather go out side for a run I like to feel the breeze ..I like watching my progress
I run outside with the treadmill on my back, so I got them both covered.
Last time i ran a bug went in my nose..no joke lol i think i ate it
Jon Cell protein on the run
Lol
Jon Cell 😂😂😂
Great that's more protein bro😂😂
lol 😂
They forgot to mention that running outside makes you stronger than running on a treadmill. The uneven ground of running outside will work balancing muscles on your feet and legs. Plus the harder surfaces of running outside will make your plantar muscles stronger over time. Another fact worth mentioning is wind resistance, running outside will tax you more energy to cut thru gust of winds if your trying to maintain the same pace. Depending on weather, you could either perform better or worse trying to maintain the same pace. As a bonus fact, treadmills will wear out your shoes faster, the moving band against moving shoes cause more friction than a stationary ground against a moving shoe. I recommend "NOT" running bare foot on a treadmill as it pulls on foot muscles, which could lead to injury. Hope this helps.
The biggest disadvantage of running outside is facing pollution.
Vipul Joshi yes only in india
Banana Pie but people in China have longer life spans (85) than people in America (80). The pollution isn’t that harmful
Vipul Joshi run at night .. I do .
@@fezs9027 run before sunrise
Run in early morning than evening before sunrise preferebly
The only main advantages I see with a treadmill is that they’re great to have when the weather sucks or if you’re concerned about your safety when running outdoors and they kind of force you to be consistent with your pace. Other than that, outdoors all the way. It’s not mind-numbing like the treadmill and it’s much more rewarding since you have to put 100% of your effort whereas the treadmill already does some of the work for you.
One other thing: I have a friend that used to only run on tread mills and he could run for long periods of time. When I got him onside on a track, he struggled to complete two laps. treadmills don't require you to push your weight, just lift your knees.
I noticed both effects. For months I ran a lot on the treadmill and when I got outside I struggled. Then I ran outside for a few months without using the treadmill and thought I would shatter my old times on the treadmill. I was wrong, I also struggled. I think it's about what your body as accustomed to. In both cases, after a week or two I had quickly raised my level in the "new" activity.
Ya , it’s called: specificity of exercise.
Am I the only one that was laughing when the vitamin D was beating up the cancers
alex O l also liked the noise when the vitamin D hits the cancers
So stupid right?
I had to rewind to catch it. LOL
Im talking about the video, not vitamin d and cancer relationship
Haha yes & the runner in the video is so cute
I enjoy being alone so the Treadmil is my fave
Trademill Is good for youngteenagers?
@@pinkyprasad4246 yep! I use mine every day for 30 minutes it rlly helps
Had a lecture/presentation from a Physical Therapist in my PTA program on running that's worked in Sports Medicine for 16 years. She pointed out that a lot of times people can run incorrectly very easily on a treadmill as your supposed to propel yourself forward while on a treadmill landing on the forefoot while a lot of folks kind of "bounce up and down" so to speak which can have negative effects in the long term
She also pointed out if your running on a street (not a sidewalk) you need to switch what side you run on from time to time. Streets are generally designed at a slight angle for drainage purposes. When you run on that barely noticeable angle your body compensates to keep upright. That imbalance can cause all sorts of issues long term as well.
One of the best video on RUclips
I would also mention that treadmill running has less impact on your knees and other joints as treadmills absorb a lot of that shock or impact. Both have there benefits. I can't speak for everybody else but when I routinely run outside I begin to develop shin splints. When running on a treadmill regularly I have never developed shin splints.
Amen, nothing beats the freedom of outdoors, even in rainy weather.
But I want to run in my underwear, treadmill it is (I have a treadmill in my house)
Awesome. Thank you for this helpful video
Excellent video, thank you.
I used to run on treadmill and for some reason it didn’t feel the same compared to running outdoors. I love running outside it’s awesome.
I love bicycling to work for these reasons. The variety is great. I used to dislike florescent light, but now I like it. I don't know why. Maybe the noise has decreased and general public sentiment about it effected my opinion.
I just got a 250 watt electric motor wheel. It has helped reduce my commute time a little, but it isn't so powerful to discourage me from pedaling hard.
cool. I thought you would also mention the fresher air. Other than that, I was very informed.
Well fresh air is debatable as a topic because of the increasing pollution everywhere, which is why we chose to leave it out. Hopefully the channel covering the topic next won't have to leave it out.
Ah, okay. thanks for telling me that.
I love the early morning new air. I pretend it's better oxygen to burn fat. not true but it gets me out the door and off the couch
Alex Gen.V5 right now in Cali worst time to run.horrible sir quality cause of the 🔥
I have my treadmill in a room with floor to ceiling windows and I must say it is often too sunny... I like the treadmill because I get to focus and for me it is a creative time, often I get good ideas and inspiration. when im outside I have to Pay attention to everything happening around me in order to stay safe. I have asthma and when the weather is cold or too humid it acts as a trigger. I think it is all very personal, and as long as you keep a healthy plan that suits you and achievable, you are good!
All good points but one thing they don't mention is impact on the joints. My treadmill is superior to running on asphalt when it comes to helping my knee problems. I'm generally fine if running on a softer surface outside like grass or a rubber track but much of my outdoor running is on concrete or asphalt and my knees can instantly feel the difference. My treadmill has some built-in shock absorbers to help minimize this impact. So, all else being equal, I prefer the outdoors. But if my knees are killing me, I tend to avoid running all together. Advantage-->treadmill if you have knee problems like I do.
GrnXnham try to run and Comedy down with Your forefoot If You dont do IT already IT IS better For Your knees
Even if you wear Adidas boost?
Nothing wrong with walking it just takes longer
I absolutely hate this argument about "the wonders of outside." Some of us live in ugly places and looking at that is just depressing.
Thank you.
I'll just drive to my destination Thank you very much!
my gym has a lot of Windows and has blue interior. thanks
Excellent as always! Personally, I find it easier to run 5Km on a treadmill than running the same distance outdoors. May because I have to run against the hard wind around the lake, where I run. (Some Extra calories burnt! Yeah!) Now that I'm running outdoors, noway I'm going back inside to run on a treadmill as it cannot provide me the sceneries, breeze, social interactions like outdoor running.
that's not probably only due to the wind but also because while running on ground your feet have to get a firm grip and then u have to apply force to overcome the friction where as on treadmill u have a very flat surface all uniform so that much work is not done by ur body.
Hi I really enjoy your page ☺ Keep it up!
I think we can all admit we found this video very visually satisfying.
I even today went to outside for Brisk Walking. What said in video is true. Increases thr mood and will help to walk farther and also helps to increase the thinking level of mind. SO GO OUT AND START RUNNING OT BRISK WALKING
winter with Rain in gym
although i miss the sunlight
Thank you!
Me living in Seattle with all this rain, a treadmill is a must for me.
Minority here, but I feel like the treadmill is harder than outdoors. I run outside in all weathers however sometimes when it's really snowy or I have a chest infection I use the treadmill. It burns my legs more and whereas I can run 18 min 5k outdoors, on the treadmill going at that pace (10mph) feels so much harder. Maybe because I'm not used to it but the treadmill is fun for a change
+Rhys Nichols for a change yes. The key is to maintain a balance. Go out once a while when you can. That will help too. This way you can get the best of both 😊
when its cold i use a treadmill...got my videos i watch and i have no distractions to slow me down
Thanks for the info : )
For me on more of a performance aspect i can run for longer inside on a treadmill but can't do the same outside.
What I did to balance this was I worked at different intensities and did sprinted climbs on the treadmill which then I found help me perform better outside.
outdoors all the way
Boxing Shows take your treadmill outside then run lmao
I hate wind tho
i hate the rain
How do you burn the same calories? A tread mill just requires you to launch your legs forward, but on a surfaces you are accelerating your entire mass. Am i missing something?
You should set a treadmill to 1% incline to represent real world conditions
ruclips.net/video/M5hcgs-rW34/видео.html
odisy64 I agree, you you run for real you're pulling your body around instead of just throwing your legs around.
Odisy I support your point.
Outside, our body needs to accelerate our own mass consistently and therefore big force is "invested" in order to keep us moving.
In an outside run, F = M*A -- is consistently applied on our whole body mass as we're not running on the same spot.
but on a treadmill, because of the fact we relatively stick on the same spot the whole workout. our legs just need to keep us on the track and barely fight the force needed to accelerate our body mass forward.
Now don't get me wrong, When being used correctly treadmill can be great, hard and intense workout.
But for the same speed or incline data, it will never burn the same calories or be as hard as doing the same outside.
1Ohad0262 well just put incline
JustSomeRandomGuy. True, yet still wont burn same calories.
Got my first sub 14 two mile time outside from running on a treadmill. Treadmills can help you mentally and physically run a certain pace, because you get used to restrictions a treadmill can create.
Still, on a dark, cold and wet evening in winter, I’ll always opt for the treadmilll
Definitely running outside is good, but I get runners high for 20min run like I'm in a flow state, I do weight training in the morning and 20min jog eve everyday on threadmill, It feels so good.
You: threadmill or outside?
Me, an intelectual: Indoor track
Very nice and informative video
This is why I need treadmill on quarantine
I absolutely can not run on a treadmill. Its so boring and the time goes so so slow. Outdoor i can jog for over an hour. Indoor i can run for max. 20mins. And the worst part is that i live in Finland.
Joona Siikonen I did treadmill for an entire year and a half. As long as I had good music, I was fine. But I found out that nothing beats being outside in the warm sunshine hearing the birds chirping. I just haven't figured out how to stay hydrated outdoors without the water bottle holder that a treadmill has.
You can put an audiobook on. You can put a show on or listen to music like most people do.
+olive4naito
Buy yourself a camelbak hydrator.
Buy a phone holder extending arm, attach to your treadmill, watch music videos or movies while you're at it. Diy , it does wonders
Outside is dead coooooollldddd
Yeah its socoldoutside
SpotTravelers you must be in England the cold lol funny but oh so true
Hate wind
SpotTravelers guess you don’t live in New Orleans
If you are in Alaska probably...
Very useful video
Very informative
Thanks!!😊😊
Everytime I'm outside I always look at the ground, I might step in some shit or something
I go for running ... in morning and go for walk in evening
Plzz tell us benefits of walking
Walking is great for health - especially for adults over 40 years of age. Below that running is better. Long walks help you clear your head, pace your thoughts and calm you down, figuratively speaking. The benefits of walking seem so obvious that they're rarely discussed. A 30 minute walk or run a day will be very helpful for you. We can make a video on this in the future too.
U should walk after dinner
Wow Ain't you got time
Kush Yadav running is like walking, only faster
Chantel Hoyt seriously...
I am an outdoor runner/jogger and I love it lol
It is good to have a diversity of options to train and the treadmill is just one of many options. But in order to be good at running one must specifically train those muscles that are used outdoors. Therefore i conclude that for race preparation runnunig outside doing intervals is superior to running them on a treadmill due to the specificity principle.
When you're already motivated and willing, yes. But if the question is whether to run at all - anything works! Inside or outside, treadmill or not. Just do it!
Exactly! Whether its a treadmill run or an outdoor run.. it's still a run! You're still putting in the work and getting a good sweat/workout either way!
Well I have to walk to the gym so I guess I get both
Both are important...Treadmill with tempo runs can improve your performance for any outside running performance.
Running in the city has a whole lotta grey and a lack of green but still more enjoyable than indoors
I can't afford a gym membership
how about placing treadmill outside. Legendary!😂
Legendary? How? Ewww
Or placing it on a dairy farm. Legend-Dairy.
randomfleming or placing it where "It" takes place. Derry, Maine. Now that's legend-Derry
Pradeep Athlete Singh stupid
Outside running gives you confidence!!
Yeah I’d love that but where I live it’s winter half the year 😞
Like for Running Outside u can see how beautiful this world hmmmm
But don't do it when a rain come 😊
Running outside is also free
I will buy a treadmil for cild seasons (8-9 months here), and outside walking for summer.
So right so true
I dont smile like this while i am running😁😁
Plus you forgot to tell that running outside is more difficult because temperature is changing fast and wind also might be a problem.
I like running outside but am I the only one that’s also scared of doing it (probably cause I’ve seen a lot of stories of people being ambushed while they’re running)? I always feel like I’m being watched
Jaime Salazar omg same
Jaime Salazar - in where Syria?
Correct and I just start exercises after a year. Beginner at gym and my opinion is we have to more on weightlifting for a six pax abs structure or healthy sound and mind
Weirdly enough I have to do indoor workouts as I wasn't training hard enough, my composition worsened and I couldn't see the numbers might be the machines were more accurate than my devices. I cant always hold yourself accountable. Back to normal lately but every month I skip it it will happens. There are also no weights outside,
Excellent video. How much time do you guys take to create a video
Takes anywhere between 15 days to 45 days. Depends on various things.
On a road you are pushing your body forward through a lot more effort, on a treadmill it's pushing itself backwards. The beginning is wrong.
I noticed that when I run outside my sweat is kind of oily
And
When I run on the treadmill its watery..... Hmmm
You ever had a creampie
Me too !!!
My opinion and experience running outside is better due to the fact you have the entire space your body can have. And you can do much more running outside and you control your own speed.
after running 5-6 kms on a treadmil for some days, it was still difficult to manage a 10k run outside ...... :(
Trendmill is good but is boring because when runing outside you can explore different routes and you will never feel the danger and feird of running for your life when a big ass dog trys bite you . 😂😂😂😂 trust me i am running for cross-country
You burn more calories outside as there is wind resistance
I shade more on treadmill though it is boring.
But the wind also cools you down
There's air conditioner air resistance from treadmill
@@rockerboyka94 No there's not I ran 20 MPH outside but on the treadmill I ran 22.7 MPH so somethings definitely not adding up here
When you live in the midwest you can only run outside from like May-September unless you like to run in the snow
Advantages to both. Outside is good, being out in nature and enjoying the views etc. But if the weather is bad the treadmill is a good back up.
However a treadmill is also good if you are doing a structured set such as HIIT or anything where you are comparing previous results (speeds, inclinations, run times, heart rates) then a treadmill is usually your best bet.
The Sun and colours are great unless you live somewhere like Scandinavia as I do. Gym's warmth and bright lights win over depressive rain and cloud outdoors every time
oljenka88 I would say calm, relax, beautiful rain and cloud.
Outside, you seen nature and stuff, while inside ur just caged
Informative
Running outdoor is a lot better. Running on the treadmill; however puts less impact on the heels and is a lot easier than outdoors. I do both so I really don't care since I get my cardio in either way.
It’s like comparing playing basketball on your PS4 vs playing basketball on an actual basketball court with an actual basketball.
💯
TraumaER no. Because ones a game and ones actual physical activity. This is comparing two things which are both physical activity
Treadmill is safe and secured. I don't want to meet strangers.
go outside then and build some confidence. living in fear aint good.
Ultra introvert
Thank you
You're welcome :D
I feel happy
