Causing joint pain due to surface exercise

On-site running is often done indoors, on floors such as bricks, marble or granite. When running on these surfaces, all the feedback is directly on the knees, hips and ankles. Prolonged exercise can cause you to feel pain or stiffness, even discomfort when moving.

Increasing pressure on certain muscle groups

When running in place, the front thigh muscles, hip muscles, calves and ankles must be repeated on the same surface, without changing the terrain as when running outdoors. This makes muscle groups susceptible to strain, pain and fatigue, especially if you exercise continuously for a long time.

Lower calorie burning efficiency

Running in place lacks the resistance of the wind - a factor that helps the body consume more energy. Therefore, even if it takes the same amount of time, the amount of calories you burn when running on the spot is often lower, resulting in poor weight loss and endurance compared to running outdoors.

Incorrect feelings of effort

Feeling effortless is how you evaluate the difficulty of the exercise. When running on the spot, many people often find the exercise "lightter" than running outdoors in rain, cold or hot weather, even though the actual heart rate is quite high. This difference can easily make practitioners subjective, leading to not exercising enough intensity or vice versa, exercising too much without knowing it.
