Ok Mr. Treadmill, you talked me out of it. Thanks

Nice timing on the photo, but it probably had scrolling text saying something like "Holding the heart rate monitors while running is not recommended."

Rikicarvu · 2012-09-25T16:01:43+00:00

At my gym the display comes up with huge red flashing text saying "HEARTRATE IS DANGEROUSLY HIGH". Well, jeez, thanks for telling everyone I can't handle 5 minutes on the cross-trainer at level 2 out of 10 :(

Fucking threadmills, making money off of something you could literally do outside naked.

Patton Oswalt - Treadmill audition

FiMack · 2012-09-25T10:51:28+00:00

Unfair! Mine NEVER says that.

I like to think the length of the LCD was selected to fit that sentence.

jdbrat03 · 2012-09-25T17:25:43+00:00

Those that are calling repost you are correct. I have posted this before however it is a picture that I personally did take at my local gym. I've just been trying to find the right time/subreddit to post it for the most karma. Also it was just good timing it is supposed to say "holding heart rate monitor while running is not recommended" but when I first saw it I just saw the last part and thought it was pretty funny.

Just thought I needed to come clean and explain to those who actually take time to read the comments.

HecticHeretic · 2012-09-25T16:55:45+00:00

I hate how long it takes for this to come across, I don't want to be running and bragging onto it forever :(

if running is not reccommended, why do treadmills go up to 10?

STUN_Runner · 2012-09-25T17:35:31+00:00

Patton Oswalt:

I don't hate working out, either. I like to exercise. I just don't want to work out in public. I don't want people to see me working out, because me on a treadmill, I look like an anthropomorphic pot of noodles that has escaped from a 1920s cartoon, thumpin' along, "Ah, friendship!"

So, I have a treadmill in my house. Problem is my treadmill is in sight of all the other shit I do that involves me sitting down and not moving, which I'd rather be doing. So, basically, every day, Treadmill auditions for my attention. That's what it does. And it's the worst. It has no confidence. It's, like, "Heeey, Patton, it's your treadmill. Um... I just figured you could kind of hop on up here for forty-five minutes... mumble mumble... your leg's really gonna hurt... um, lotta work for no reward, but that's what weight loss is all about... your... incremental... two or three pounds a year... nothin' tastes better than bein' thin... so hop on up here, and... mumble... mumble..."

So I'm, like, "I'll let you know, thank you."

And then the next auditioner is the internet and scotch and pretzels, and they're, like, "YOU CAN EAT US AND JERK OFF TO HIM!" and I'm, like, "Wow! You're hired! Oh my god! That's amazing! That's amazing! Through the door! It's like a young Brando, whoo! So confident!"

MacAnne · 2012-09-25T17:45:10+00:00

I have this rule. Never take NO from a machine!

Kellianne · 2012-09-25T17:53:43+00:00

Can you get me one that says "Go have some ice cream"?

simpletonsavant · 2012-09-25T18:04:07+00:00

I just want to jump in here and give me experience: Treadmills are great when the weather is shit, and you want to run. But why not just go jump on an elliptical, turn the resistance up to around 12 or 13, and enjoy your run that way? I train on both, and I've found that using he elliptical at resistance 5 days a week, not only saves my knees, but when I go to run at an actual track, I feel like superman. Just a suggestion/thought/question.

rothgnar · 2012-09-25T18:09:37+00:00

measures weight and did not want to be broken

xXCONXx · 2012-09-25T18:24:24+00:00

You're not healthy enough, to become more healthy.

Atreides_Zero · 2012-09-25T18:38:31+00:00

To be fair while this is just a well timed snapshot, running is often not advised for the morbidly obese as it can do serious damage to the knees and ankles. Especially for beginning runners.

Drybones5 · 2012-09-25T18:53:55+00:00

Looks like a planet fitness treadmill.

Wolfman87 · 2012-09-25T18:57:02+00:00

Let me guess, planet fitness?

Tok1 · 2012-09-25T19:10:10+00:00

it 's a running joke at the gym

shulzie · 2012-09-25T19:28:42+00:00

archstone gym?

RedemptionX11 · 2012-09-25T19:57:07+00:00

I see the same message, on the same treadmill as that. Every day. And yet I still see people holding the heart beat sensors while running.

running on a treadmill

I'm gonna go lift weights now.

BoernerMan · 2012-09-25T20:33:36+00:00

same treadmill, hurt me until it scrolled....

crawsome · 2012-09-25T20:41:56+00:00

Did a gun pop out of the storage compartment after the comment ran?

blueberry_nutsack · 2012-09-25T21:18:05+00:00

You don't run on a treadmill. You jog.

JackTrueborn · 2012-09-25T21:19:29+00:00

Military? I'm guessing military.

FAT LOSER

Qkix · 2012-09-25T23:58:19+00:00

When you stepped on the treadmill it weighed you and then sampled your heart rate, decided it was a no-go. Walking only for now, buddy!
