It doesn't matter that running on treadmills or outside as long as you are serious on workout.

That's a very good point about the timer on the treadmill. If you aren't sweating, you definitely aren't running!

Totally agree about the machines. Another thing I've noticed about how misleading treadmills are is that there's TOO MUCH information: For example, because there is a timer, oftentimes users will do 30 minutes ( or 60 or whatever) of “cardio” without thinking of the quality of cardio. You'll notice people in a gym on a treadmill for 30 minutes, BUT THEY'RE NOT SWEATING OR GETTING THEIR HEART RATE UP! The duration becomes priority over the quality. Also, the calorie counters ontreadmills are wildy inaccurate and misleading so people get a skewered view of how hard they worked
