Tired of the treadmill that pains your knees and ankles? Or has your exercising dream crumpled because of some serious leg trouble? Did you know you could actually exercise in zero gravity and with hardly any pain?
Unless it was about swimming in water, or a ride up in space, it was near impossible till now. But AlterG M300 Anti-Gravity Treadmill makes possible exactly that.

The treadmill is meant only for the really rich. It has a price tag of $ 24,500, and will be available on sale from next month.

How does it work? It creates enough air pressure inside its enclosure to create near vacuum. It uses differential air pressure around your lower body, to lift you up.

The machine then allows you to exercise by moving your legs in 20 per cent less gravity or any differential space between that and normal gravity.

The overpriced version is already being used by 50 per cent of NBA teams and many NFL teams besides some college athletic schedules. In near future, the machines may well make it to your neighbourhood gym.
AlterG is surely a gift for those athletes recovering from injuries, the elderly who must exercise but have no energy or muscle power for it, and patients who need exercise.

Jogging outdoors may perhaps be still better than using your treadmill in your gym. This way, you can be more eco-friendly about your exercise habits. However, it is not always possible to take to the park or the nearby roads to jog everyday as the outside temperature may either be too hot or too cold. Sometimes when it rains, it’s almost impossible to carry out your outdoor jogging.

EcoMill allows you to workout indoors and yet keeps things eco-friendly. As you run on the treadmill and burn calories, you simultaneously generate enough power to run the treadmill. The battery charges automatically while you are exercising and keeps the display up and running. This is done by utilizing Wood way’s near frictionless system.

There is always something cool about stationary cycling. It is not only good for health but also helps you trim your flab and develop a great body. However, RealRyder has taken normal stationary cycling to a step further and have launched what they call the ABF8. The ABF8 comes with the ability to let the user balance along wit pedaling.

This means, it would help you strengthen not only your legs but also your upper crust and finally developing a good balance. The ABF8 is however quite expensive and comes with a price tag of $1,995. I would say, you must get this even if it is expensive as it will help you develop stamina, muscles and of course balance.

Dog-lovers know how important it is for their canines to get a lot of exercise but sometimes taking the dog out for a walk can be real hard on its master.

The Canine Treadmill is especially aimed, or so I think, for those dog-owners who are way too lazy to take their dog out for a walk but still love them enough to spend lavishly on them. The rubber belt of the treadmill is kept particularly soft keeping fragile paws in mind. Plug this in to your wall socket and set the speed, distance, and inclination so your dog can have a great workout without bothering you. The treadmill also has side rails to keep the dog’s attention forward, though dangling a bone in front of it would work just as well and give him motivation, too!
