What are the correct postures for using a treadmill to lose weight?

Warming up is a very important step when we run. Warming up can avoid muscle strain, relax the joints, and you will not feel tired when running. Warming up is to do more leg and foot joint activities, move your arms, twist your waist, and move slowly, not too fast, so as not to hurt your muscles and bones. Then jump a few times. This is much safer than running directly. The following editor will tell you how to lose weight on a treadmill.

1. Heel landing is the key

When running, do you usually land on the forefoot or the heel first? If your answer is the former, then you are making a mistake that many girls make. It is incorrect to land on the forefoot first when running. Although this makes running easier and less strenuous, it will cause your legs to be thick. Therefore, in order to have beautiful legs, ladies, remember to land on your heels when running, and then jog with the forefoot touching the ground.

2. Jogging is the most effective way to lose weight

Ladies, don’t think that the faster you run, the better the weight loss effect will be. In fact, this practice is wrong. Although fast running consumes more calories, it will put a burden on the calves, accelerate muscle growth, and cause the calves to become thicker. Fat actually starts burning after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so jogging for more than half an hour is the most effective way to lose weight through running.

3. Stretching after running is essential

Many girls rush to buy something to drink right after running, and often ignore the post-run stretching step. Stretching exercises after running can not only relieve muscle tension after running and avoid muscle tightness, but also effectively maintain perfect leg shape. So, stretching exercises after running are essential. The best running posture for weight loss

Correct posture for treadmill running

Generally, there will be no muscle pain if you exercise every day. It is good for your body to insist on exercising. When you become thinner, you can wear beautiful clothes. Start exercising now.
