  I don't really know what we're talking about either, but I'm thinking of resistance bands on a treadmill creating an awesome human slingshot.

  What's your goal? I googled and I found this: http://running.competitor.com/2014/03/training/understanding-treadmill-training-for-maximal-results_95969

  You can use resistance bands to make pushups harder. Whether you want to or not depends on your goals.

  I resist using running machines but I'm guessing that's not what you mean.....
  
  Treadmills usually use incline not resistance to increase the effort.

  More an elliptical then - in that case yes, add resistance if it's too easy/not working hard enough.
