The Torturous History of Treadmills

Running on a treadmill has always felt like a cruel and unusual punishment to me. Turns out it, that is exactly what it is (or at least, originally was). This motion video lesson, made for TED-Ed, tells the fascinating history of the exercise machine so many people use all the time.This video was created by a team of creative people : lesson by Conor Heffernan, narration by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu, illustration by Yukai Du, and animation by Yukai Du and Jiaqi Liu. To see more of the process of creating the video, including stills and storyboards, look here.
