You move forward when walking on a surface, and on a treadmill you stand still.
Treadmill workouts are indeed effective however, they do result in easy injuries such as shin-splints due to consistent striking of a hard surface. If you plan to run on a treadmill, you should wear comfortable shoes with a soft sole and run with good form.
Because there is usually more "give" on a treadmill, they are usually easier on your knees than running outside. However, if you are running outside on a very soft surface such as sand, that surface could actually be easier on your knees than running on a treadmill. Typically, though, if you run on pavement or hard dirt surfaces, you knees would be better off if you used a treadmill.
I am breathing hard constantly when I run on my treadmill.
Well, if all you've got outside are very hard surfaces, then a treadmill can offer some cushioning, which can be beneficial if you have feet/joint issues. A treadmill also get you out of traffic. But for fitness purposes, a walk outside is likely to be better. It'll be more varied, which is always a good thing. It'll also be less boring, making it more probable that you'll stick to your routine.
To move on a hard icy surface, it is important to wear appropriate footwear with good traction like ice cleats or crampons. Walk by taking small steps and keep your center of gravity low to maintain balance. Use walking poles for added stability and take caution when walking on icy patches to prevent slipping.
Cowboy boots do not make noise when you are walking on loose sandy soil, which is what they are designed for. Walking on a hard surface they will always make noise, nothing can be done about this.
Advantages of a treadmill is that you can do it in a controlled, and safe enviroment. No traffic, no weather, maybe even a/c. Another advantage is that you know exactly how hard/soft the surface will be. Downside of treadmill is that some people find it terribly boring, and also that you tend to get stuck in a very even rhythm, which means that you'll get less payoff from your training. Running outside gives a natural variation to your pace, which is good for fitness.
Common reviews seem to state that the Life Fitness treadmill is overpriced. They also state that the buttons don't always work and are hard to figure out.

A Lot Of Walking!
If you were to work equally hard for equally long, you would burn the same amount outside as on a treadmill. Running outside have two advantages: -it's less boring - it usually offers more natural variation which tend to make outside a better workout. OTOH outside can be too hot/cold/rainy/sunny/scarytraffic/dark etc etc, in which case a treadmill workout is better than no workout.
0.19 miles is about 300 metres. Hard to set .19 miles on a treadmill. What i do is set the sprint speed on the treadmill at 10 miles per hour, and time it for 60 seconds. I make .19 or so in the 60 seconds and that includes the treadmill warming up. Takes about 8 seconds for it to get up to the 10 mph sprint speed.
