Dear Treadmillologists and People Who Do Exercise !

I do a good 60-70 minutes on this every other day......would it be better, more efficient, more ' fitness ' making if I reduced this to 30-35 minutes every day ?

If you're trying to burn fat I don't think it matters.
If you're trying to build muscle then resting every other day may be better

Neil or just go for a long walk and run up instead of a funny
exercise machine.

Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady.
She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.

Thanks Rosalind

But the machine is here and I can go on it at any time I like...rain, snow, hail etc etc........In a ideal world I would probably prefer to go out...
