Many people enjoy going to the gym and running on the treadmill, possibly because they find it easier than running on the ground because there is no wind resistance.

In fact, running on a treadmill is not as beneficial as running outside. Running outside demands more from your body due to the resistance of ground propelling you forward.

This week on FitnessWatch, Chris Page Owner and Trainer at Page Fitness will be discussing this difference between running on a treadmill and running outdoors.

Each week Fitness Watch will outline healthy living, exercise and fitness tips, brought to you by Page Fitness.
