[quote=Anonymous]Longtime runner here who can't disagree with 10:31. Proper running form would NOT include holding onto the rails. If you're holding onto the rails often, you are probably either going at a pace you can't sustain or you have issues with balance. If it's the former, slow down to a pace you can sustain without holding onto the handles. (and then gradually increase your pace over time.) If it's the latter, consider doing some Bosu ball work with a trainer or start taking yoga classes - I find yoga to be great for balance. The only time I use the handrails is when I'm either starting (if the treadmill gets going faster than I do and I have to catch up) or when I'm stopping (I hold the handrails and jump onto the sides of the 'mill and then take the speed down to walking pace.) Agree, too, with the hunching over the elliptical or stair climber. It's terrible for your back, and the whole point of going to the gym is to improve your health, not ruin it.[/quote]
