Are treadmills bad for teenagers?

Posted by Filed Under Sports & Fitness Treadmills with 6 Comments

I’ve been on the treadmills thrice and would like to continue to work out. The problem is my mother believes they’re bad because someone told her that I still need to grow (I’m 14) and my muscles will grow stiff resulting in an operation. Is this true? What other ways can I work out that’ll actually burn a lot of calories at the age, otherwise?

I was working out on a treadmill this weekend and noticed it was calculating that I was burning more calories than I think was possible. I’m assuming the default weight is much higher than my actual weight. Is there a way to figure a better estimate of how many actual calories you are burning?
