.
This is especially true on a trail or open field, because you have to watch where you put your feet and use your muscles to support the different movements of foot placement that you do without thinking (like on a treadmill or a paved road).” Keith further explained that different types of people prefer different
types different ways of walking, and the preference lies in who they are and what they like to do while exercising. Most people who use walkers do so because they don't want to look at their feet while exercising.

Treadmills are among the most effective types of exercise equipment for people who have limitations that prevent them from performing traditional exercises, such as walking, running or swimming.
Adults benefit from using a treadmill because treadmills can help strengthen and improve balance and endurance.
They also benefit people recovering from injury or surgery, as the exercise environment they provide is easy to control and does not require going outside.
Walking outside is the best way to go
A study published in the journal Neuroscience Nursing found that stroke survivors at high risk of cardiovascular mortality benefited from increased physical activity using treadmills.
It is known that regular physical activity counteracts and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
But most elderly stroke patients have limitations in the physical activity they can do.
Researchers have found that treadmills help address this problem.
However, for healthy sports enthusiasts, walking outside is the best way to go.
Most doctors and experts will agree that walking outside brings better results in general, if the goal is to maintain weight and strengthen the body.
The activity includes the use of more muscle groups, and the external environment also reduces stress and anxiety.
