The Treadmobile - the latest piece of fitness equipment to come from America - is a gymnasium treadmill which has been fitted with wheels to allow it to be taken into the great outdoors. But maker Alex Astilan, 46, a former decathlete in the Romanian Olympic team, insisted that a work-out on his GBP4,500 Treadmobile was much more "fun" than the obvious alternative - just going for a run. He said it was designed for two people so it was sociable. Mr Astilan, who runs a gym in New York, has built 10 of the machines in a bid to follow his pledge to make Americans "fat to fit in a single generation". "The machine was specifically built for two people," he said. "It will enable obese Americans to run errands and exercise at the same time.
