I run outside, in all kinds of weather, on trails with roots and rocks, up flights of stairs, through mud or snow (but not on pavement - tough on the knees)...but I can't run on a treadmill. Although, it would be nice in the dead of winter and summer. Funny, I can't run on a treadmill.

Oh yeah, there are really sexy girls stretching all over the place. Try hot yoga, there are hot fit girls there, and you get a freaking great work out and stretch.

Such an awesome experience. It was in the morning so there wasnt many people out or anything like that. It was very peacful, especially when the runners high kicked in. But now my feet still hurt and I'm afraid to really push myself on cardio cause I dont want to make it worse. I ran barefoot like an idiot. Has this ever happened to you? When should I go back to intense cardio again, i miss it! Thanks -Matt Rusty,

I need to get back to doing that type of stuff...I'm at the point where I can go full speed on any treadmill on a pretty steep incline...I have to get back to challenging myself with tougher cardio work. Note: I don't like the slow and steady cardio stuff. I like Interval cardio, because it burns fat like crazy! Rusty Angie,

I would so rather be bustin' ass doing strength training, whether it be bootcamp style outside or even just punching around the punching bag out in my gargage (which by the way is collecting a lil dust...time to get my butt out there). Good post..wonderful fall weather here, definitely time to change it up and get outside! Running stairs is a killer, the treadmill is boring, and pretty much cardio is SO not my thing!

Seriously...many physical therapists and physicians are making their clients backs worse by giving out the wrong advice. Note: To anyone who doesn't know the story he's referring to: <a href="http://fitnessblackbook.com/injuries/conquering-low-back-pain-while-getting-fitpart-i/" rel="nofollow">Conquer Low Back Pain While Getting Fit</a> Lester...I also have a different take on stretching. I'll definitely write an article on that soon. Knee pain...although I have never experienced knee pain...I know someone who has and I'll get that info into my blog soon. Great requests, Rusty Lester,

Once or twice a week, I will walk briskly outside with 3 pound hand weights thru a wooded area with a nice trail... It really is a nice break from the gym. I just wanted to say that I really like your website. Your articles on low back disorders/exercises were very interesting and I am now reading Stuart McGill's book on the subject. I was wondering if you might be able to put a piece together on a complete stretching routine and also if you could put an article together on leg strengthening exercises for people with knee pain. Thanks so much for the great work. I like running outside but can't do it too often as my knees really act up.

I don't like treadmills so I only run outside, and I live in an extremely hilly area, so it's double the workout. Have fun!!

When you're on the track you have to use the muscles in your legs much more then on the treadmill. This is because the treadmill does the job instead of you, your only task is just to "stay on it' and don't fall. On the track it's you who have to create the energy to reach a certain speed and not the "ground"! It's hard to explain what i want to say since it's not really clear for me either!
