When you run on the treadmill, the muscles in your legs work harder than usual, causing microscopic damage to the muscle fibers. This can lead to inflammation and soreness, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Additionally, the impact and repetitive motion of running can also put strain on your joints and ligaments, contributing to the discomfort in your legs.

Which form of exercise has less impact on your joints running on the street or running on a treadmill?

From the opinion of one who has run on everything from dirt trails, to gravel paths, to treadmills, roads, grass and sidewalks, these are my discoveries: Treadmill running should be done as rarely as possible. Some treadmills are lighter on your joints than others, but my legs hurt far more often in the winter due to treadmill running than during any other seasons. Street running is relatively easy on your joints, which was much to my surprise initially, but it is obvious that it does less to deteriorate your legs. My preferred surface on which to run is a trail, so if you have trails near you choose that first. The exception is, on relatively long runs, trails can get repetitive. I do my long runs on roads. But back to the initial question, running on the street has much less impact on one's joints than running on a treadmill.

Is riding a stationary bike for 2 miles equal to walking a treadmill for 2 miles exercise wise?

I would think that it would be about the same effort wise, but running on a treadmill would put more stress on your legs from the constant impact, if you have a foot problem or something. A stationary bike has a more circular flowing motion, but exercise on it focuses a lot more on the thighs than your entire leg.
