Treadmill Trails

73 years I have been exercising in northern climates (WI for the most part) since the early 80’s. Much of it outside when I could. Walking, jogging, swimming, xc skiing, curling, golfing, and on and on. But we moved to FL and the heat here can be oppressive and as I’m older, it really affects me negatively when exercising. So I bought a treadmill and it is a great thing to feel energized after exercising again the way I used to be. Except it was BORING....until I found this app. This app is beautifully done, and takes me to places I can’t go in addition to places I would not go because of a fear of heights...it’s certainly a win-win for me. Try the free sampler which takes you to a variety of places...then there’s a nominal fee of 99 cents for each download. Pay only once per download then you own it...all positives, no negatives for this app. Love it!

I love this. I'm motivated to get on the boring treadmill knowing that a new trail awaits. Each one really feels like you are in a different place. I buy a new one after each treadmill workout as my reward. The only one out of the many I have bought, that I don't like, is Big Sur. There was too much editing. You would see the trail for about 15 steps before being edited to a new part of the trail, and this continuously happened throughout the entire trail. You never felt like you got to enjoy walking the trail to a destination, not even up a full hill. 1 unfulfilling trail out of many, is not bad at all! I look forward to using this each day. I especially love the sunny trails, while I'm stuck indoors in the dreary winter time. Thank you for making this app whoever you are!

What I love about the app is that there are so many different scenic trails to choose from, the videos are only 99 cents each and last for 30 minutes; a few are 60 minutes. All videos are in the most beautiful locations, many in our national parks. My exercise bike has a variety of workouts but they are only 30 minutes each so this is the perfect app for me. This is so much cheaper than buying a subscription. I find the trails highly motivating. You can listen to the music provided with occasional motivational suggestion throughout or you can use your own music. They trails appear to be filmed early in the morning so you are never interrupted by having to go around other people. You have the trail all to yourself and the narrator.

Over the years I have tried several exercise videos applications. Treadmills Trails has been my go - to training Ap because of the variety of fantastic trails in beautiful locations and the periodic motivating suggestions. Sometimes it is harder to get motivated to slug out a few miles on my equipment (Octane ZR 8 and Octane xR6xi) but as I scroll through my choices of “running” through Big Sur in California, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, hills in Spain or wherever, it helps to escape for a half hour or so to a grand vacation spot! The variety of trails is terrific with new ones added regularly throughout the year to keep me motivated to “touring” exciting places and getting important exercise while doing it. The perfect motivator!

I tried the sampler this morning and loved it. I like the narrator’s voice and reminders to drink water, go faster/cool down. The music goes with the scenery nicely, too. Right now, I’m tired of my playlists but it’s nice to know that I can use them if I want to. Love this app so far and I can’t wait to get on the treadmill tomorrow, which is saying a LOT when you don’t love exercising, but I love hiking. I just have to figure out which trail to take. So fun! Oh, one last thing, it’s inspired me to set a goal to actually go to one (or more) of these beautiful locations and hike the real thing. In the meanwhile, I’ll use this to train for my trip.
