I don't understand why I should have to strap a grounding strip or whatever when it works fine for everyone else! Just trying to find a way to exercise without being punished...

Might be time to hit the rowing machine.

The treadmill hates you.

everyone gets static shock on the treadmill, people discharge it by touching something every now and then or don't have rubber soled shoes.

Some people are more prone to static shock, but everyone gets it.

I get shocked all the time, its annoying as fuck. usually when I open my car. Now I just touch the glass before I touch the metal, or I touch it with my key first.

I also get shocked in supermarkets by the trolley, so I just make my missus push it.

Spend some time in a really dry country. Youll walk around like electro zapping everything. Was fun living in vegas I can tell you.

Shocked by how it never moves in a straight line or the direction you push it.

Wouldn't think its your runners as I get the same as well and I have New Balance! Yeah the shock in the ear is the worst, especially since you can hear the crackling of the shock as it happens! I just assumed it happens to everyone:(
