I don't have a treadmill and I don't like to run outside, so is running in place like for example in front of a tv the same as actual running and/or running on a treadmill?

Not really, but close ... sort of. It uses a different range of motion, doesn't tend to offer as challenging or diverse a workout & I believe will cause greater stress on your joints. Also, most people tend not to be able to do a long routine and generally have a lesser sense of accomplishment. In general, I wouldn't recommend it.
You might try seeing if the local rec center or gym has a treadmill or seeing if you can pick one up discount. Treadmills tend to be able to give you different types of workouts based on their programing (adjusting speed & incline). And, what's wrong with running outside?

No, honestly. You would possibly nonetheless drop a few pounds and it's well excercise however strolling in situation is not anything like strolling on a treadmill or external. When honestly "strolling" you may have a stride and a footstrike and, so much importantly you're relocating. Running in situation is solely lifting your ft up and down. If you wish the real aerobic advantages of strolling however now not external, take a look at an indoor monitor or a treadmill in a health core. A gymnasium is a first-class suggestion considering that you'll be able to combine your treadmill with lifting, motorcycles, and different exercises! You would even take a category. Downside: Membership Fees :(

Treadmills burn more calories because they have an incline and can be set to a certain speed so you know just how fast you are going, and for how long. Maybe try to join a gym, then you don't have to buy a treadmill yourself and can use all the other machines.

Not quite: There is a slightly different kind of motion. And personally I think the treadmill would be easier on your joints than pounding on them while not really letting them move.

No. A treadmill requires more effort and therefore burns more calories.
