    The treadmills are frequently out of order so he gets his cardo from walking around looking for a working one.

    Sorry can't help as I haven't been since school holidays started - one week tomorrow and I'll be back!!

    The treadmill was invented as a hard labour device for prisons in 1818.
    Prisoners would step on the 24 spokes of a large paddle wheel, climbing it like a modern StairMaster. As the spokes turned, the gears were used to pump water or crush grains. (Hence the eventual name treadmill.) In grueling eight-hour shifts, prisoners would climb the equivalent of 7,200 feet.

    Prison guard James Hardie said the treadmill’s “monotonous steadiness, and not its severity, which constitutes its terror…”

    I used to be a member there and found the same thing, a lot of them were always out of order. So when got busy you could miss out, I packed in the membership, I've found running outside is much better than treadmill, it seems for me I can go faster and further than treadmill.
