On a serious note, this video inspired me to buy a similar treadmill for my home office as I already own a standing desk. 2 weeks ago this video came out and 2 weeks ago I bought my compact treadmill. On average, I walk over 5 miles a day at about15K steps and already my pants are starting to feel loose. I already own a full Treadmill, but at best I would use it 3 times a week for 30 min at a time. Having this compact treadmill at my standing desk while I work, play video games, and watch videos changed my life. I can walk at a 2.4MPH pace and forget that I am walking. Hours later I feel tired and realize I have thousands of steps and burned a few hundred calories.

[@TheScience69]

The problem with checking amazon reviews for excersise equipment is that the VAST majority of them are written by people who want to get in shape, use them twice, write a review saying how great it is and then it never comes out of the closet again, so the review doesnt take into account how it holds up to regular use. Ive bought equipment in the past with great reviews that did work great...for about 3 workouts

[@Zlodej5]

The problem with amazon reviews is that most of the 5star reviews are fake

[@Tallermage]

It's the same with other product too. I bought a stereo with pretty good reviews to replace the one in my project car and its face plate was too wide for the dashboard covering to be put back in. I had to trim the sides to get it to fit and while it does do the job properly, the dimensions that were written were the ones that should have fir properly. This isnt my only experience with a product sucking, my sister got a trimmer and it didn't work, it had no effect on me too on my arms with thin hair. I now return to my old reviews every once in a while to update them since i trust those reviews more and I don't want other people also getting screwed. I also every now and then get emails from sellers offering to send me products for free in exchange for 5 star reviews and these products are always overpriced like an umbrella that cost more than 100 dollars so I look at reviews carefully now.

[@hubertnnn]

@@Zlodej5 The problem with amazon reviews is that the 1 star ones are shadow banned. Also another problem with most similar companies (amazon, ebay, aliexpress, etc.) is that most products change so fast that the company or product will disappear and be replaced by new one (usually exactly the same just rebranded) before it gets old enough for any problems to appear.

[@overyourheadtampa]

This treadmill is genius. It exercises the body through walking, disassembly, and cleaning. Additionally exercises the mind by making sure you learn what you forgot and thinking how to make other equipment work that is affected by static electricity or indirectly touching. The designer thought so thoroughly about it that they even made it look like these intentional functions were unintentional.

awesome stuff Mehdi! You're changing your life for the better, no easy feat! - keep it up 😃

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

I used to service treadmills for Sears Canada, and what most people don't know, is that there are two types of belt lube. One is silicone based, and the other is wax based.... If you mix the two of them together, it thickens and causes a LOT of friction... I have seen so many burnt out motors and circuit boards because of this. This was a long time ago, but Nordic Track is an example of a treadmill that uses a wax based lube while Horizon uses silicone based lube. Treadmills come with lube on them, so you need to make that you are using the correct one. Not doing so will at best, make a less and a little extra heat, and at worst, ruin your belt, motor and motor controller.

[@InuYasha_bullet000]

Is there any way to tell if it’s silicone based or not

[@JoelArseneaultYouTube]

@@InuYasha_bullet000 Not any sure way that I'm aware of. The silicone is usually thinner, like baby oil, where the wax based is a little thicker, (still very thin) Unless you are already familiar with them, that is not much help. I'm sure there is a way, but I can't say for sure.

This video is a good reminder that physical activity is important. You don't have to dedicate your life to sports and you don't have to work to become buff. But some form of workout is required for improving one's health. The trick I found is to incorporate the activity into the daily routine. I shower before bed, so I went on a walk around the neighborhood before shower. That way, every time I felt like I just want to shower and go to bed, I made it so I want to walk, shower and go to bed. Mehdi made it part of his work routine. As soon as you put things into your routine, they're much easier to maintain.

Thank you for this video. I have a standing desk for 10 years now and I never use it for standing only sitting. I was thinking to get a treadmill too, but I was too lazy to compare 100 treadmills to get the best / longest lasting one. Your video keept me motivated to buy an eletrical treadmill. BTW I did some digging and if you have the money or the time you should investigate the premium mechanical treadmills (without electricity) - for example: AssaultRunner Pro. They are completely silent, no maintenance required and cost 2000 to 6000 € - or something like 200 € if you build it yourself. There are some examples that work for standing desks too. I do not have the skill or budget now to get a mechanical treadmill yet - but maybe in a couple of years.

[@andrewwhyte8174]

Years ago I was servicing a Sorvall RC-3B centrifuge (it's the size of a washing machine) that runs on 240VAC. I learned the hard way that the breaker on the machine only disconnects neutral. The motor brushes still have live 240 ready to kick your ass. I learned a lot that day.

Hey. I watched your video some time ago and I've been stewing the idea of getting a treadmill myself since then. I went through a million reddit threads, youtube videos and stuff like that. I've watched your video like 10 times by now, I think. Point is, I was scared of getting a cheap one because I thought it'd break as often as yours. I kept pushing back the idea of exercising more and more. Well... It is my 2nd day walking on my $200 treadmill. I hope it lasts a long time but at this point I don't care. Yesterday I walked 4h while doing frontend work and today I'm 3h in and walking while I type this lol I love it so far.

How is it going so far?

[@ackmandesu8538]

@jenniferh9505 I used it daily for around 4-5h for about 3 weeks and now i’m down to 2-3h about 3-4 days a week. It is fun to use, specially during repetitive tasks where i’m just listening to music and not thinking much. When I need to focus a bit more I usually sit down because I noticed I sometimes turn off my brain and just stare at the screen for a minute because i’m enjoying walking itself lol The treadmill still works fine. Lubricating it is a bit of a pain but no odd odors so far. I find myself getting annoyed sometimes if I have to move it too many times in a single day so I often just walk for a bit, go have lunch and then come back to walk some more... Or I go work on the sofa for 30 min to rest... Instead of just putting it away when I want a short rest. My weight initially went down a bit but now it’s stable. I think walking just makes me more hungry and I eat more because i’m not too focused on diet atm. Overall: still recommend it. The treadmill is nosy and gets in the way in my small office but I think it’s a positive in my life.

Excellent video, as usual. I believe the reason why the PCB switched the neutral instead of the live wire is that in many parts of the world, house wiring is not polarized. For instance, here in Austria, you can plug the wires in either way, so the live and neutral wires aren't consistently on the same side. In most houses, there isn't a standard for always placing the live wire on the same side of the receptacle; in fact, in many older houses, the wiring to the socket is connected randomly. Except ground, obviously.

Thanks for the video. I have a treadmill in the attic (for my wife) that I've never used before. I managed to do a poor man's job of attaching a screen to it and placing a keyboard and mouse. Have been working while walking yesterday and today with pleasure, though am noticing that I'm not just to covering these kind of distances :)

[@DaveMorris128]

That was an awesome video Mehdi. Electrical engineer here. Dont have a treadmill but I got a Peleton. Adding coils and capacitors with the proper circuit to charge my laptop while I ride is an idea that I can't take off the ground.

At 2:11 with good editing you can make your self look like your makeing a commercial

[@PBMS123]

12:13 and thats exactly why having switched outlets is far superior to NA non switched outlets.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

Hitting a switch is no easier than unplugging

[@PBMS123]

@@Owen_loves_Butters yes it is. It is also safer. Go and plug something in behind a couch, or TV stand. Or that fact if I'm troubleshooting I leave the thing plugged in. I also don't need to pull the plug to isolate it if something goes wrong, or if I want to cut the power while I'm away. Once you have to plug it in back in, its easier. Fucking wild to think pulling a plug and having to put it back is easier than flipping a little switch.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

@@PBMS123 It is not safer in the slightest, and is barely if at all easier. It's nothing more than a minuscule convenience factor, and probably would safe a few seconds over an entire lifetime. It takes practically zero effort to simply grab and pull. Oh, and for the record, we do have switched outlets, we just put the switch in a place where it isn't completely redundant. What's really wild is you being so smug over your pointless switches, when if you wanted to criticize the North American electrical system, there's many actual things to criticize that matter, like the fact that our plugs have zero safety and extension cords that cannot carry a circuit's full capacity are not required to have a fuse or breaker.

[@PBMS123]

​@@Owen_loves_Butters The only person here being smug is you. lol, they are safer, and more convenient. To say they're not safer in anyway what so ever is just insane. I've had to deal with both. I can leave things plugged in but turned off, which is convenient, and safe. . I can turn of all the plugs in my house when going away on holiday for a long period. The switch isolates the outlet, which means sticky fingers are not going to get shocked by an empty outlet - and for NA which does not mandate, and it appears manufacturers don't do anyway, is have insulated plug blades/tines. Everywhere else in the world plugs are insulated at the base so small fingers won't electrocute themselves by touching the blades of a plug that is half out of the socket, where it is in contact with the electrical contacts and so is live, and said person's little fingers are touching them. I didn't point out the huge number of other things wrong with the NA electrical standards because I wasn't commenting on that. But there are plenty. NA outlets, brand new ones look like they're straight out of the 50s. Exposed metal. Exposed energised metal wire connections etc. A switch adds extra safety by de-energising the outlet and anything plugged in without having to pull the cord out. The fact you can't see that it adds safety and convenience and crucially removes nothing, is mind boggling.

[@Owen_loves_Butters]

@@PBMS123 "I can leave things plugged in but turned off" Yeah, so can we. Everything that can be plugged in has its own power switch. Is that just not a thing where you are? Do manufacturers just make things assuming you've got that little switch? "Sticky fingers are not going to get shocked by an empty outlet" That just... doesn't happen here. The live contacts are buried within the receptacle, and can't be touched directly by human fingers. Your criticism of our plugs is 100% valid, but it has nothing to do with switches. "Exposed metal" Any exposed metal must be grounded. If a live wire touches it the breaker will trip. "The switch adds extra safety by de-energizing" Which you can also do by UNPLUGGING THE THING. You have to reach for the socket anyway to flip that switch, and taking a plug out of an outlet is literally just as easy as hitting a switch. Switches on outlets are nothing other than a mild convenience at best.

5:42 I was also facing same problem 😢 and don't knew rhe solution to this than you

[@nicetrydiddykong]

10:12 he flew backwards😭😭😭

[@N0N0111]

After this epic journey (self experiment) it would be nice if you asked a manufacturer to collaborate with you and invent the treadmill of the future!

[@hoseinqadam]

17:00 yes I too saw that it did not smell weird.

[@Denis7947.]

10:24 the cappacitor bro 😂

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

05:00 would that zapping damage the laptop? Either by sending charges through the earplugs or charges from your fingers to e.g. the keyboard?

[@voidseeker4394]

In theory it can. In practice, wires and connectors are arranged in a way that is most likely to direct the discharge onto the chassis, which is either directly grounded, or just discharges it out of the way.

[@dun0790]

You would think working with computers and electronics for years would dull me to this but nope! Everytime i see some one shocked i can't help it and his reactions have me in tears

[@DougAshley]

Excellent video. I think people generally need to do a better job of taking care of themselves and a walking desk is a relatively easy hack to do that. I've been using a treadmill desk for nearly a decade now. The one I'm using has been good except for the control board which I've had to replace several times. (Thankfully under warranty each time). Since it's been out of warranty, I replaced the control board with a pulse width modulator which has been very solid, but I did admittedly lose some features. I used to occasionally use it for running, but now only walk in it.

12:42 404 Not Found..

[@4ngeek]

I just don’t understand how to use keyboard and mouse while walking. Am I missing something? 🤨

[@horsethi3f]

I'm trying this out currently. No issues using a keyboard. For mouse, setting the mouse speed to minimum helps alot.

[@toothlessblue]

14:57 I HAVE THE SAME RULER! :D

[@sethpaulson7632]

Thank you so much Yer ligit. And oh so much educational. And fun! Thank you❤

[@eraphtasofstet8645]

I’m proud of you finding a fitness solution that works so well for you! I weld at a desk all day for my job, but the facility I work in has a gym I can use for free.
