Do you get just the same benefits from walking on a treadmill and walking outside?

Question:

Answers:
Open your window for fresh air and yes they are the same. you are walking.

Other Answers:
yes

Essentially, yes, without the car exhaust and other air pollution. you don't get the fresh air benefit inside

I think that it is better to walk outside because you have more hills so you get a better workout. Plus you get a change of scenery so it is not as boring.

It depends hoe your walking. Like if your going up a hill or things like that.

no, outside you can enjoy the outdoors AND exercise
while treadmill is just exercising

it a matter of opinions

Essentially you are doing the same thing in both situations and working the same muscles, so in turn getting the same benefits. However each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Walking outside lets you take in the scenery, breathe in fresh air(depending where you live), and walk on different terrains. But it is also fraught with many disadvantages: smog, exhaust fumes, traffic, muggers and rapists (depending where you live).

Having a treadmill in your house can avoid all of these and let you exercise in peace and comfort. There is also the convenience of being able to jump on and jump off without being miles away from home; and then its a 30 second walk to the shower. You also have many options with settings, so you can either go for slow downhill walk or a fast up hill terrain jog, the choice is yours.http://www.1st-for-exercise-equipment.com/Treadmills.html
