Hey my grandpa is getting up there in age and he can still rock the treadmill 
I got really annoyed with seeing all the skinny-fat girls working out slowly on the ellipticals, especially when they gave me weird looks for going to the weight section. Probably why I hate going to the gym now

Those who do it improperly or too much (read: most people) fuck up their ankles. That's not to say everyone will. Just most of them.

This is why I'm happy to own my own. Its worth it to not deal with the normal gym crowd.

I have my own elliptical machine but I don't use it. Why? I can't go for as long as I can in the gym. When I'm at the gym I go there to work out and since I'm there I don't have the option of just stopping and going back onto the computer.

Hook up a HTPC or normal PC up to your TV and throw them all in the same room. With a smaller media keyboard you can use the elliptical and PC at the same time if you're so inclined. From personal experience I'll say that its a bit harder doing this trying the same on a treadmill/bike though.

While you're at it, rewire the bike to supply energy to power the monitor. If you stop or slow down too much, it turns off.
You know how irritating it would be to have an instant message sound pop up while you work out? And 90% of the time it would be nem-x giving me a youtube link to someone playing a musical instrument.

How do you improperly run on a tread mill?
Same as improperly running on any other surface. Bad posture, bad style, not warming up properly, improperly warming up, improper footwear.
And I agree with Addy. Women at the gym suck. The gym I went to, EVERYONE was in shape, and I felt all flubbery and out of place.. I mean, I need to drop a few, but I'm far from being fatty.

Seriously, it cheers my lifting partner and I up when we see women actually using weights other than 1000 reps of the 5 pound dumbbell. Keep at it and don't let those assholes make you feel bad.

Me too. Wierd that isn't it.
Although if I went running at the moment they'd find me frozen solid mid-stride at the end of the road.
Fucking weather.

Mortious had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
improper footwear.
"Why don't ladies hit on me?"
110 minutes running, walking 45 minutes. But was running at 7.0 instead of 6.0. 14% increase!

nem-x stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:"Why don't ladies hit on me?"
tripping over shoe laces is one of those 'improperly running' things.

Running on a treadmill is easier than running for real, so you can run longer/farther indoors than out.

Plus the 'weather' indoors is much easier to deal with, and generally less sweaty, than the weather outdoors.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, if you want to get a 'real' workout from a treadmill, you have to put it at at least a 2 degree incline. That simulates actually running outside, though there is no substitute for actually being outside when you work out.
Either way, when you are running on a machine, its still doing a good amount of the word for you, like moving the surface you're running on. It keeps you from having to work as much to move your own weight.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and nem-x is gay was all like:
My lungs burn when I run outside.
Thats because you're doing a good cardio.
Either that, or its really cold.
Personally, I prefer to run outside when its between 45 degrees and 60 degrees. That way, you dont overheat as easily as when it is warmer.

I just got some good news: I've been chosen to command an airbase in the UK. Not a huge one, but I'll own about 700 people with a $65M budget in support of several thousand US and UK tenants, so not terribly shabby, either.
Wooohoo, skipper og a base, eh?
Does the Air Force hold those in a near godlike status, like the Navy does?

It'll be a nice change from where I am. Where I'm at now, you can't swing a cat without hitting 6 Colonels and at least one General. There, I should be one of 2 or 3 Colonels on the base.

I was a victim of a crime a couple of months ago, and they just arrested a guy today that may be linked to it. I'll get to deal with the police this weekend but I am ecstatic. Even if it's not the culprit for my case, at the very least they caught a criminal.
