How to run on a treadmill correctly?

Running is an aerobic exercise. For those who often go to the gym to exercise, the most frequently used item is the treadmill. Although the treadmill seems simple, many people do not pay attention to how to use it, which not only leads to failure to get a good exercise effect, but may also cause injuries. So, what are the precautions when using a treadmill? Now I will teach you how to use a treadmill correctly for running.

Choose the quick start mode: Regular treadmills will have a set of preset programs. When running, fitness enthusiasts only need to enter data according to the prompts to choose different exercise methods. Among them, the quick start mode can adjust the exercise intensity at any time.

Start with walking: It is recommended to start with a walking speed of 4-6 km/h and gradually transition to running. In addition, brisk walking can utilize more fat for energy, and the fat-reducing effect is relatively better. When running on a treadmill: remember, your steps should be big and your stride should be large, and when landing, use your heel first. In this way, move backward along the running belt, and then step up with the entire sole of your foot, which will stabilize your body. Of course, when running, remember to swing your arms just like you would normally do.

Pay attention to your body position: When running, make sure to stand in the middle of the running belt and be careful not to run off the track. If you lean too far forward, you may easily step on the base; if you lean too far back, you may easily be thrown out. Stop slowly: After running, fitness enthusiasts cannot stop immediately, but need to slowly adjust the speed and eventually reach a slow walking state. Otherwise you may feel dizzy. Moreover, using this excessive speed will allow your body to relax after exercise and relax your muscles.

The above is the correct way to use a treadmill. This way, people who use a treadmill for the first time will know how to use it correctly and will not feel confused. It can also avoid some dangerous accidents. Remember to warm up before exercising, and be sure to choose the speed according to your own situation. Everyone's physical fitness is different, so you should run according to your ability.
