How can i gain muscle on the Tread mill?
Ive been running on the tread mill latley to try to gain muscle and i put the speed very high and the incline high to. Im really skinny and i dont want to loose any weight and someone told me that if i keep running on the treadmill that ill loose weight instead of gaining muscle. Is that true? If it is, what type of exercise machine could i use to build muscle on my legs and thighs?

Run on your hands.

Really…? You run on a treadmill and expect to gain weight, crazy kids. Try lunges or squats to build muscle.

running is a cardio exercise so yes you’ll lose weight. to gain muscle you need to move to weight lifting.
if you don’t have your own weights and don’t want to go to a gym then exercises like push ups, squats, chin ups,, etc…will work

you need to lift heavy weights to gain muscle. Treadmill is for fat loss mostly.
