INDOOR HARMS
Machine workouts have electromagnetic field exposures, from the machines and being indoors.
Artificial lights with blue light ray emphasis at night disrupt sleep, hormones, and destroy the fat DHA necessary for many things like converting photons from the sun into electrons in the body.
You do not even utilize oxygen naturally, according to Dr. Jack Kruse.
Many machines do not have a full range of motion like leg extension, which is moving your leg back by contracting the posterior chain of muscles: glues, adductors, hamstrings. Instead these motions emphasize the front of the leg, the quadriceps. Bicycling is like this, too, as Lance Armstrong discovered and had to rehabilitate after his cycling career. The results of posterior chain atrophy are bad posture, back pain, and flattish booty. Bikes and some machines also accentuate the problems created by sitting: shortening the illiopsoas complex that pulls the hips forward and makeS your chest collapse in.
Buying your own machines is often a waste of money. A cross country ski machine in your home a better option if necessary, like for impact injuries, since it can activate the posterior chain and has no impact if you are injured. But I don’t want to review machines, just get your butt outdoors.
OUTDOOR BENEFITS
Sunlight is our most important nutrient.
Less air pollution that is generally worse indoors with cleaners and gassing off carpet, furniture.
Ground to earth when barefoot. You can use moccasins in cold weather if they have not foam cushion and only natural leather protectors like Saddle Soap.
Barefoot on firm stand or grass is also better mechanically with a full range of motion and flat for better hip alignment.
You have to run which is the way we were designed to move.
Forest bathing is now a thing with intangible benefits explained by being with nature.
In cold weather you can use the cold as cold conditioning with many health benefits.
INJURIES
If you have injuries from running and workout on a machine because it hurts less, then you need to address the possible root causes:

INJURIES
If you have injuries from running and workout on a machine because it hurts less, then you need to address the possible root causes:
- Overtraining. This needs a precise formula for healthy training Full Recovery Working Out
- Wrong shoes: Altras are good. Or barefoot running on the ground. Shoes
- Misalignment in general from hips and maybe head down to your feet. Primal Movement
