Title: Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill Post by: Kory Wheatley on February 25, 2008, 09:56:31 am Interesting article on the new anti-gravity treadmills that are making their way out that some elite runners are training on. This includes Dathan Ritzenhein

I only wish I was rich enough to buy one or if I could find out how to get access to one. This would really help get over injuries and stay in shape. Also it could let us know what running would feel like if we lost 10lbs or so.

Title: Re: Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill Post by: Kory Wheatley on June 27, 2008, 04:12:49 pm Not that I'm aware of, but I can see that they will become popular in the future when the cost goes down for the training facilities to handle the price.

Maybe on some snowy days when I am forced to run inside on a treadmill, I will just resort to some treadmill dancing to keep things zesty!
