Those looking for a new way to run indoors are going to want to check out all of these atypical treadmill designs. The treadmill is one piece of exercise equipment that hasn't evolved much over the years. Sure, there have been TV screens and fitness monitors added to the stationary walking station, but there hasn't been much in the way of a radical redesign.
These atypical treadmill designs won't exactly be found in your local gym, but they are still awesome and worth a look. These treadmills let you exercise outdoors, rock climb and even allow you to take your dog for a walk without ever leaving the house. Yep, you can now walk your dog without actually having to walk. The future is truly a wonderful place.
