It is unsafe to go walking or running sometimes, especially for people in poor health. Having a treadmill in their house allows them to still be active. If someone has bad knees that don't allow them to run, an elliptical machine is a better solution than doing nothing. People with kids, especially very young ones, aren't always able to leave the house at all to exercise, so machines are the only way they can do it.<br><b>References : </b><br> Just a few reasons:

Also there are no hills anywhere near here and I don't have to worry about cars or getting mugged if I run later in the day. At home I can run in air conditioning, 12 months a year, safely and can get a better and more intense workout by using the incline feature of my treadmill. In addition the treadmill has shock absorption built in so it's easier on my joints. I'm sure people in cold weather have very good reasons for not running ni 4" of snow and freezing weather.<br><b>References : </b><br> I live in florida. 9 months of the year it’s over 90 degrees and rains a lot so it’s 95%+ humidity.

Not to sound rude, but im not complaining that some people do this, because when i go to the gym from time to time, i do see some seriously OBESE people on machines, and its not a pretty sight =/ and smelly sweaty people. pah i dont like it..<br><b>References : </b><br> i agree! haha, just walking to school/work will surely help them with weight loss… or they could just walk/jog/run around the area in which they live. or just go to the local gym. why bother buying fitness machines.

I would love to have a treadmill in my house! I wouldn't have to travel to the gym.. in the cold (I have to walk to the train (20minute walk) and then walk to the gym from the stop... it's COLD and I wear a parka and snowpants.. and fur hat, mitts and a scarf!!!)). I guess it's mostly convenience!!

Seriously. A lot of people are too embarrassed to go to gyms because of that - it's why certain gym chains discourage bodybuilders or athletes from being members there, so that the average unfit joe doesn't feel intimidated and feel even worse about themselves.<br><b>References : </b><br> They don’t want to jiggle around out where people can see them.
