What's a manual treadmill?

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Leg powered

[nowster Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

But surely that's pedal (foot) not manual (hand)? 🤓

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Fair comment 😁

[Libet98 in reply to Instructor57]

🤣 Wrong word! I meant its a motorless treadmill. I don’t run on all fours! 🤣

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Libet98]

Glad to hear it , it would cost you a fortune in running shoes 🤣

[Libet98 in reply to Instructor57]

Well done on your progress!Your making it hard for yourself on a manual treadmill with incline !

[Libet98 in reply to Instructor57]

Luckily it’s not a very steep incline. But makes for a good workout.

So I’m a treadmill user (electric powered) are you just using your legs to move the belt? This has just blown my mind Libet98

[Libet98 in reply to Hidden]

Exactly. The gentle style running speed/ incline is fine for me but may not suit more advanced runners. You need to hold onto the handles when running, otherwise you would possibly not stay on it. I got it from Decathlon. Was a reasonable price. Would recommend!
