When it comes to exercise, most people now choose to do some simple exercises at home. Exercising at home can save time and achieve the effect of fitness, and it will not be restricted by weather conditions. So when exercising at home, some people may want to buy a treadmill to assist in exercise, so as to achieve the effect of fitness and weight loss. At this time, someone will ask whether the home weight loss treadmill is effective? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Warm up first

Many people go directly to the treadmill to run, which is a bad habit and can also cause strain in the thigh and calf muscles. 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.

2. 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.

3. The amount of 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 have to decide based on your own situation.

4. Keep the correct posture when running

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.

5. Wear shoes when 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.

Through the above detailed introduction to the exercise process of home weight loss treadmill. If you want to lose weight by using a treadmill at home, you might as well buy an economical and practical treadmill for fitness and weight loss. In addition, it should be noted that when using a treadmill, you must pay attention to safety and wear a treadmill-specific safety clip.
