In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain some of the hidden danger related to your treadmill. As more and more treadmills are showing up in homes more and more kids (and adults) are getting injured on them. About 25,000 kids are injured on home exercise equipment each year. A good thing to do is give your child a safety lesson on proper treadmill use and try and be in the same room as he/she uses the treadmill in case something does happen. Always use the wristband cut off switch and don’t do tricks like walking on it backwards or spinning around on it like the OKGO music video. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
