Has anyone used these while running on a treadmill?

If you're using these for running, you clearly do not know the purpose of this belt and should read up on some more articles on whether or not a weight lifting belt is right for you.

I haven't tried it. It is possible that the belt may slide up from its position if running hard on a treadmill, however, if it is tightened securely it should be fine. I have wore it while driving and getting in and out of my truck without any need for adjustment. As with any support belt, you shouldn't wear it for extended periods of time so your back muscles don't end up depending upon belt support. I would say it would work fine on a treadmill.

I bought this for my wife and just asked her, she said that she's worn it a few times for runs during crossfit workouts and that she actually likes it. Helps keep her core tight when she's had a tough workout and helps prevent sway back.

No but you could probably get away with using it running or on the treadmill. I've never seen anyone do that.

I haven't nor do I think it would be good to do so. For the life of me I can't think of why anyone would want to. It's not a back support belt like for warehouse workers. It's a lifting belt. It doesn't support your back directly. It's actually made for your belly to push against to increase the pressure in your abdominal cavity which, in turn, supports your spine. For this it works great. It's light weight and soft enough. It will leave a mark, if during a squat, the skin gets pinched between the belt and my shorts. Then again, any belt will do the same. I've lost a lot of weight over the years and I do a lot of running. I've not ever needed a belt for back support while doing so. If one thinks they do then a look at form should be in other. There is more to running form than just going fast. Believe me, I didn't know what I didn't know about running, lifting, or biking until I was shown the proper way. ("Proper" meaning what is correct for my body type, fitness level, and goals.) Hope this helps.

I think they would be excellent for running. The silicone grippers do a great job of keeping them in place.

They look far too bulky to stay on while running. Not to mention how they would get sweat all over. I'm in the market for something to wear on the treadmill as well, but not having great luck.

Yes, I have been using these for gym workout purposes and I run with them. I have in many cases put enough tension on them and they do not pop out easily.

I went jogging a few times with them and they seem to stay put... I wear glasses too. Hope my experience helps you. Thanks.

I have run anywhere from 1-4 miles at a time with them and had no issue. They're a great buy.

Yes they are secure enough to wear on the treadmill, but sweat might make the headphone turn yellow.

These are amazing for running. I use them everyday and have no issues. I am sure some people may need the over the ear clips, which were included in both mine and the wife's but we did not. I have recommended to several people now.

I'm not sure of why you would want to sleep with these on?.... but I can say they are great for the gym if you running on the treadmill or any other high pace exericise or movement. before I started using these, I was using the (white in color) ones that come with the phone. I notice two, things I didn't like.... first, when the cord moves when you are exericising, I can hear the movement..... second, the bud ear piece was not sound proof and you can hear things around you (people talking, exerice machines, etc.) and the bud piece hurts my ear... so I got the JVC Sport Clip and they are much better... !!! jmo.....

i go running with mine. i sweat a lot. no problems with slippage. also, i've thrown in ear plugs and used these things while operating a jackhammer. pretty nice to have something interesting (Darn Carlin's Hardcore History) to listen to while working.

I mainly use them on an elliptical. I also use them while lifting. I've yet to have any issues of movement. They stay in place very well.

Yes! I've ran on my elliptical many times with these headphones. I'd be super careful, though.

They might work over your running shoes, but they don't seem very well suited to that kind of use. They're made of fairly heavy rubber with an aggressive tread on the sole.

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!

This used to drive me nuts until I upped my walking speed to 2.3mph (which I believe is still below the maximum recommended NEAT threshold). Somewhere around that speed the treadmill gains enough momentum that the stops (still unavoidably every 30 minutes) are not jarring; you get in a few steps of deceleration that, for me, made all the difference. Now to spraypaint some yellow bands across the belt so I can easily perceive if it's running or not while working with earplugs.

Yes I have a few times. They don't fall off at all they are perfect for running! And because they're Bluetooth you don't have any annoying wires in the way and if it rains you've got no excuse to stop running because they're waterproof.. Perfect for runners!

Yes, I use them when I go to the gym and I have had no troubles running or lifting weights when using them.
