Do You Need a Break From Your Treadmill? Probably

I can always tell when winter patience is at an all time low when I start to hear outright threats against innocent gym equipment. Most frequently? The treadmill. So far in the past week, I've heard the following words used in conjunction with the treadmill: "Hives," "hatchet," "flamethrower," "dread," "kill," "hate," and "do I have to???"

And it's not just the treadmill that's getting all the negative attention - it's all indoor workouts in general.
If you're going a little stir crazy, don't take it out on your poor, defenseless treadmill. Maybe you need some time apart, absence supposedly leading to a fonder heart and all that.

It's like that country song, 'how can I miss you if you won't go away?'
