Correct use of treadmill to lose weight Most families are equipped with treadmills. Running is the healthiest aerobic exercise. So how to use a treadmill to lose weight correctly? If your physical fitness is poor, it is advisable to consume 100-200 kcal/time each time at the beginning. After your physical fitness gradually improves, you can increase it to 200-300 kcal/time. People with moderate physical fitness can consume 200-400 kcal/time each time, and those with better physical fitness may consume more than 400 kcal/time (the specific situation varies from person to person). Let’s take a look at the specific methods below!

First of all, you need to warm up. Many people go directly to the treadmill to run. This is a bad habit and will also cause thigh and calf muscle strain. You should do warm-up exercises first. You can do leg stretching, squats, muscle stretching, joint flexion and extension, etc. to increase muscle temperature and make muscles more flexible. After getting on the treadmill, you should start with "dynamic" warm-up such as slow walking or jogging, and gradually increase the amount of exercise. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful to gradually slow down when getting off the treadmill, otherwise you will easily feel dizzy and fall. The speed should not be too fast

The first thing to do when using a treadmill is to understand your own exercise limits. If you don't have enough physical strength and the set speed is too fast, you will easily fall. Exercise should be appropriate

If the purpose is to lose weight, you must control the amount of exercise very well. The exercise time should not be too short or too long, 40 minutes is appropriate, otherwise it is easy to overdraw your physical strength. So you must determine the correct posture when running according to your own situation.

Running is an aerobic exercise that involves the whole body. If you hunch your back or hold the handles all the time while running, it will not only fail to achieve the effect of exercise, but will also increase the pressure on the lumbar spine, which will cause lumbar muscle strain over time. Therefore, when exercising on a treadmill, you must tighten your abdomen, chest, and waist and back muscles.

Running while listening to music

You can listen to some relaxing music while running. Studies have shown that music with a brisk rhythm can effectively improve exercise results and increase the fun of exercise. But be careful not to distract yourself by doing things like watching TV. Wear shoes for running

Many people don’t like to wear shoes when running at home. The vibration of the treadmill will cause unnecessary damage to the leg joints. Jogging shoes are a good choice. Jogging shoes are lighter than ordinary shoes and have softer soles, which are very suitable for use on a treadmill.

If you have a treadmill at home, you will definitely be able to slim down your legs if you persist in training for a long time. Therefore, for some young people, they can exercise and slim down their legs at home after busy work. You need to use the treadmill correctly and adjust the rhythm and number of times when running. Only in this way can you achieve better leg slimming effects and make yourself slimmer and fitter.
