Abstract
A treadmill includes a treadmill frame having a front end and a rear end opposite the front end; a pulley coupled to the treadmill frame; a running belt disposed about the pulley, the running belt defining a non-planar running surface; a motion restricting element coupled to the frame and configured to limit rotation of the pulley to only one rotational direction; and a brake coupled to the running belt and adapted to selectively restrict the speed of rotation of the running belt depending upon an established limit for a speed of the running belt.
