Do I need to wear shoes when running on a treadmill?

A good body is developed through exercise. Nowadays, people’s lives and work are very busy, so everyone needs to pay more attention to protecting and exercising their health. Many families have now purchased some sports and fitness equipment, such as treadmills. Many people can run comfortably at home every day. So, do you need to wear shoes when running on a treadmill? This is a question that many friends are concerned about. Please see the specific answer below.

Nowadays, many people have treadmills at home. When running barefoot, the vibration of the treadmill will cause unnecessary damage to the leg joints, sweat on the soles of the feet, and it is easy to slip. Wearing a pair of thick socks can have a certain shock-absorbing effect, but after all, socks do not have the elasticity of the soles of sports shoes and cannot replace the function of sports shoes. Therefore, when exercising on a treadmill, it is best to wear a pair of jogging shoes. Jogging shoes are lighter than ordinary shoes and have softer soles, making them suitable for use on a treadmill. If you don't have any, ordinary sneakers will do, but choose lighter ones with less thick soles.

1) At the beginning, start with a slow and gradually increase the speed. Start with warm-up exercises and then gradually speed up. When running, it is best to swing your arms and not hold them on the handrails. This is not conducive to aerobic exercise of the whole body and the exercise effect will not be so good.

2) If there is a safety buckle port on the treadmill, it is best to buckle it on your body while running. This can avoid injuries caused by not being able to stop the treadmill in time when running fast. (Pull out the safety buckle and the treadmill will stop automatically.)

3) The correct posture when running should be to tuck in the abdomen and lift the chest. It may be a little difficult at first, but if you stick to it for a long time and have the correct running posture, it will be of great help in fitness and body shaping.

4) During the exercise, it is best to replenish a certain amount of water every 15 minutes, but not too much.
