Just make sure you change the incline every few minutes. If you don't, it can cause a little pot belly. Read that in a Men's Health article.

Rowing machine. Or if you hate yourself, an assault bike.

They sneak up on you in a hurry.

You look at it and think "oh it's just a bike. Not a problem." 20 calories in and I'm already exhausted.

People think pure running leads to a change in metabolism/hormones that leads to a tendancy of belly fat. I'm assuming the article is saying lift your incline to get into anew anabolic zone which may alter this??? You could just run harder.

I don't know if it's true at all, I've just read it.

Well, this particular article says to start at 4 mph for 5 or 10 mins, then increase mph by .2 mph every 2 mins while also changing incline and finishing at 6 mph on maximum incline. It was basically saying that running on flat ground at constant speed would isolate your lower abs and build those muscles giving the appearance of a pot belly. Didn't really feel like typing all of that before, but hope that clears it up.

There is some truth to it, I think.

A lot of long term runners still have belly fat.

Wife and I bought this about a year ago. It's fricking brutal. Like dragging a refrigerator across a parking lot, then suddenly sprinting with it for a while then slowing down again...over and over for 15 minutes or so.

Sorry but this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. By this logic doing any types of ab exercises would lead to a pot belly.

I have always read that they are one of the least effective cardio machines.
