When you are looking for a treadmill for your home, you want to get one that is going to work well for you. Many people feel that the warranty alone is worth purchasing this treadmill. One of the most important factors in using a treadmill to increase your fitness level is the variety of your workouts. Home treadmillMy brother-in-law was almost 350 pounds 3 months ago and the Sole F83 didn't have any issue carrying his weight at higher speed. We recommend changing your routine every two weeks. The second most important feature is the belt. foldable treadmillMost home machines can be folded and stored away with minimal effort. If you've been running for a while you already know that outdoor running is not always possible due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, that's when your treadmill becomes your best friend. As you can see, the price rises with the higher level of quality and durability that is built into each of these machines and that is to be expected. The best treadmills on the market combine an amazing and effective workout, make efficient use of space, and are affordable. Below is a short list of the main features you should look at when reviewing treadmill exercise equipment.However, many people overlook one of the biggest factors - your own size.
The Livestock Power Mill is an invention from William Taylor of Northern Ireland that produces electricity when cows walk on its treadmill belt while eating. The May 2010 Popular Science features a short article titled “The Energizer Cow” that details the power-producing invention.
A cow is placed on a non-powered inclined belt and will slide downhill if it doesn’t walk forward. When the cow does walk forward, the belt turns, spinning a gearbox that drives a generator to produce electricity. A feed box at the front of the Livestock Power Mill lures the cow to keep moving.
A one-cow prototype can generate two kilowatts of power, enough for four milking machines. A 50-cow Livestock Power Mill system has a break-even term of three years and may also reduce bovine methane emissions.
Suckler cows would be best suited, says Mr Taylor, and possibly dairy cows - although in this case it might involve a trade-off between milk reduction and power generated.
It also solves the problem of cattle not getting enough exercise when housed in winter.

Honda, in their unending quest to weaken the human population to the point where we can't even run when they release the robots, has developed the U3-X, a personal mobility device that will allow our legs to atrophy even quicker. Nice try, Honda, but I'm writing this post from the treadmill! Kidding, I haven't gotten out of bed yet and I've already begun drinking.
While it looks like a high-tech unicycle, the U3-X and the technology that underlies it could have far reaching implications on the way we - and robots - get around in the 21st Century. It uses the world's first omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System) to achieve smooth movement in any direction along with the company's proprietary balance-control system evolved from research into human walking dynamics for ASIMO the humanoid robot.
There's a couple videos after the jump if you want to see the U3-X in action, but if you came here hoping to see me in action I'm afraid you're gonna be disappointed. However I will be dancing in just my boxers tonight with the bedroom blinds open. Standing room only, parking in the bus-lane at your own risk, no flash photography.
Hit the jump for two videos, a short one I watched and a long one I didn't.

Thanks to David, Bongo and Dick, who don't need U3-X's to know how to roll. You just shake the dice and drop them, amirite?
