The #1 fear people have when investing in a home
treadmill (or any piece of exercise equipment) is that they won't use it.
You know the story. It gets conveyed, you set it up and
appreciate it for a couple of days... and afterward it sits... what's more,
pauses.
After a few months, you will notice how dusty it has
become and how much space it is taking up. And you remember how much weight you
resolved to lose by using it faithfully every day. But now, unfortunately, it
doubles up as a clothes rack.
never fear. This article will assist you with ensuring
that doesn't occur.
The treadmill gives the best in general cardiovascular
exercise and is as yet the main activity machine for individuals who need to
shed pounds. So this is an investment in your health that will pay off big...if
you're ready to get the most out of it!
The following are 5 simple methods for getting the best
use from your home treadmill:
1. Do your research first
Make sure you look at what each treadmill offers you and
compare it to your specific needs.
For example, if you live in a condo and/or like neat
things, a folding treadmill may be best for you. If you want a folding
treadmill, do you prefer a manual folding treadmill (like most folding
treadmills) or do you want a shock-assisted folding treadmill with wheels on
the bottom that are easier to maneuver?
If you like to drink water during your workout, make sure
the treadmill console includes a water bottle holder (It may surprise you how
many treadmills don't have this feature.)
Do you get bored easily and need a challenge? How about
getting multiple user programs or an iFit compatible treadmill?
These things may seem small and may cost you a little
more; But if it means you'll actually enjoy your workout it will be worth it!
2. Place the treadmill in its ‘happy’ place.
By 'happy' I mean well-lit, open and exciting. Do not
place it in such a way that when you walk or run, your face is towards the bare
wall. I've tried it and the workout doesn't last longer! If you get bored
easily, place it in front of the television or in front of a window where you
can see attractive views while you work out.
Rooms and spaces have certain 'feelings' and will affect
the success of your workout. Make sure your treadmill is placed in an area that
makes you feel energetic, happy, and mentally stimulated.
3. Get your exercise arsenal ready before the treadmill
arrives.
Do you like to listen to loud music while exercising? Do
you like watching your favorite movies? What about reading magazines? What
motivates you to work out and feel your best?
Get these things ready before your treadmill arrives and
you'll be three-quarters of the way there. Keep several workout or favorite CDs
around. Get your number one motion pictures or shows on tape. Collect your
favorite magazines.
By keeping a stock of 'exercises' around your treadmill,
you will be motivated to work out and you won't have to run around looking for
something to do when you want to start exercising.
Again, this may seem simple, but it works. Why do you
think magazines, televisions, and CD players are available in gyms?
4. Make an exercise plan.
Before you start working out, try to make a plan, so to
speak, "a roadmap to your stronger body." By writing down how long
and what type of workout you will do in weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., you will set
yourself up for success.
Remember that every time you work out, you are sowing the
seeds for the kind of dream body you want.
By creating a plan, you can see how many seeds you've
planted (and how long it will take to get results!) Enjoy it and you'll be
motivated to achieve your health goals (and get the most out of your
treadmill). !)
5. Track your progress
Okay, this is related to #4 but it's an ongoing thing. By
tracking your progress every day, you get a greater sense of accomplishment
which translates into even greater fat burning results.
I recommend that you have 'minimum goals' such as "I
will walk for at least 10 minutes." Or "I'll do 5-30 second
intervals." These are easy to do and you'll probably get ahead of them -
which will encourage you even more and increase your sense of accomplishment.
And of course, you're also getting the most out of your
treadmill!
These are 5 ways to get the most out of your home
treadmill. Just remember that even a little preparation will pay off big in the
long run.
FAQs
What's the best way to use a treadmill?
"It's ideal to get ready for no less than five
minutes at a simple to direct strolling pace, maybe 2.5 mph or 3 mph,"
says Mackey. "Increase the speed until you feel slightly out of breath
during your workout, anywhere from five minutes to 15 minutes for
beginners."
What setting should I set my treadmill on?
Basic Treadmill Settings:
Typically two to four miles per hour is a walking pace,
four to five miles per hour is brisk walking or light jogging, and more than
five miles per hour is jogging or running. Incline numbers raise or lower the
treadmill's platform to simulate running on flat ground or hills.
How to reduce belly fat with treadmill?
Running at high speed can burn 80 to 90 calories. Working
out on a treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes a day can be enough for anyone. Ravi
says that you can stay fit even by running on the treadmill for just 20
minutes. Running for longer than this every day puts pressure on the knees.
How to use a treadmill safely?
Give it plenty of space. Leave at least 2 feet of space
on either side of the treadmill and 6 feet behind it to avoid falling into a
wall or getting caught between the machine and a wall or piece of furniture if
you lose balance. Always use the security key. If you fall, it will move out to
stop the belt.
How do you burn the most calories on a treadmill?
And when you exercise at a higher intensity, you'll also
burn more calories for a longer period of time after exercise. Walking or
running uphill burns more calories than going downhill or on a flat surface. 2
You'll burn 3 to 5 extra calories per minute, depending on the incline of your
treadmill.
How long should you walk on a treadmill?
Ideally one should walk on a treadmill for 300 minutes a
week for comprehensive health benefits including weight loss. This goal can be
reached by walking 43 to 44 minutes every day. This will help you lose 1 kg
weight in a week. But if you have just embarked on a weight loss journey, then
start with 20 minutes a day.
What should be the incline on the treadmill?
Anyone new to an incline treadmill should start with a 1% to 4% incline. An incline of 1% - 2% is believed to mimic the natural changes in elevation of outdoor walking or running. It's important to note that the higher the incline you set, the harder it will be on your hips and lower back.
