Before 10,000 B.C. nomadic

miles to visit and celebrate with a

neighboring tribe.

invaded in 5th century B.C. a

messenger was sent to Athens to

inform people of the good news. After running the 26 miles to get there the

messenger died. Despite the

controversy surrounding the tale,

many exercises physiology professors

use it to explain the importance of

cool down after aerobic activity.

The first modern

treadmill grew out of

England’s Prison

Reform Act of 1779.Which ordered

prisoners to

establish a servile

work program that

required little

intelligence.
