Alter G Treadmill

One of our local fitness centers recently purchased an Alter G treadmill.  The treadmill features an enclosed skirt that you are secured into with special shorts.  You can then control air pressure inside the skirt to partially unload your body weight.

Here's a short video of me running on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago.

If you are injured or injury prone, this is a great way to get in miles.  I'm using it 3 times a week over the next month to prepare for Ironman Canada.  Without it, I'd have trouble running more than once a week.  For more info about using the Alter G locally, contact Nancy at the Meyer Center.
