Running in the gym can create a competitive atmosphere and achieve better exercise results. You can also watch the show while running, and it doesn’t feel too tiring. The gym also has personal trainers who can provide targeted guidance. The treadmill can also control the speed and mode, and can be set to run in steps or incline.

The benefit of outdoor running is that you can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery and fresh air of nature. When running around the block, you can freely set goals, such as setting the number of laps around an office building, flower bed, etc. Disadvantages: Exercising in the morning is effective, but data shows that the air quality in the morning is not the best during the day. Outdoor running usually takes place on the side of the road, and car exhaust is very harmful to the human body.

Generally speaking, using a treadmill will not be affected by the weather, and there are more options available. But regular running offers beautiful views and the freedom to set goals. Treadmills and ordinary running each have their own advantages and disadvantages and cannot replace each other. Everyone chooses the best one that suits them.
