Ooh, weird....

I finally (after living in this complex for over four years) got around to trying out the exercise room. Couple of weight machines and the treadmill.

Leaving aside my general wimpiness, I had the weirdest floaty feeling when I got off the treadmill. I don't mean euphoria; I think it was akin to when you twirl around until you fall and then feel like the world is turning around you, or (according to what I've heard) getting off a ship and feeling as if the ground is rocking beneath you like the waves you got used to. I assume this was a result of walking and jogging without getting anywhere, then stepping off and actually going someplace. But it really did feel briefly as if I wasn't quite walking on the floor.

I always feel like that when I step off the treadmill. I think it's due to the fact that the treadmill moves, but solid ground does not.

I was suspecting that. It was rather like being dizzy (in the spinning way, not the fainting way), only without the circles.
