If, by upgrade treadmills, you mean the flatbed treadmills, that have a 
belt that is turned by the human walking on it, rather than the electric 
ones with electric motors for lazy humans, the ones that have the belt 
that is turned by the human walking on it, having a slight, and, 
adjustable upward grade, then, such treadmills should definitely not be 
abandoned.

The human powered (rather than electric powered) treadmills are far more 
healthy, both directly for the human powering the treadmill, and, for 
the environment, especially, given that most electricity is generated 
either by burning things, and therefore, creating atmospheric pollution, 
and, poisoning most lifeforms, or, by nuclear meltdowns, causing 
radioactive poisoning, and, even worse toxic waste, than from burning 
things.

So, human powered treadmills, that involve an upward grade, should not 
be abandoned, the abandonment of which treadmills, threatens life, for 
the sake of ever-increasing laziness.
