But Warchild's doctor's explanation about treadmills being bad/worse for knees than running on concrete seems to make sense.
No pain in my knees anymore. Sometime my hips feel a twinge while climbing stairs though. Guess it depends on the motion of the machines. I think it is good to switch things up so you don't wear out any part of your body.
