: Hopefully not much because that is what I try to do for excercise. I would be interested input also.

The manual with the C-leg warns that the hydraulic unit might overheat during long, continuous use(e.g. lengthy downhill walks). I assume that could happen with long use on the treadmill. But, there is suppose to be an alarm if that happens - a repeated vibration to alert you of the risk of overheating. If you get the vibration, you are suppose to stop all activities and allow the hydraulic unit to cool down. If this isn't done, there is risk of overheating of the hydraulic unit and in extreme cases, damage to the C-leg.
