Running is free and requires little equipment. Novices will see results in 2 weeks. This guy has obviously got the running bug hardcore (all should not expect results like his - he is exceptional and that is why his example is being used for promotion) and well done for him.

When I talk to people about this exercise, one of the main barriers is not a lack of time or motivation (significant in themselves), but the lack of a decent environment. Some people live in very deprived neighbourhoods and running alone is just not safe or pleasant.

But outdoor running for those that want to give it a go is highly reccommended. A friend of mine did a study that showed that outdoor running is 20% harder when accounting for wind resistance and surface/contour bias, compared to a running machine. This is because most people, despite best efforts, do not realise that the belt is taking away some of the effort - even for that split second when you may be in contact with it - if you are keeping speed (difficult as most do a catch-up rhythm) then you will let the machine take some effort. The only way to overcome that is to outrun the pace of the belt - but then you'd have to up the speed or run off the machine into the display!
