How to use the treadmill in the gym

A fitness treadmill is a piece of equipment that replaces outdoor sports. It is mainly used by friends who have too little time or it is inconvenient to go out. Many gyms also have fitness treadmills. As people's awareness of exercise increases, we have more and more opportunities to come into contact with fitness treadmills. However, in real life, many friends are relatively unfamiliar with fitness treadmills. How to use a fitness treadmill? Let us learn about it through the following introduction.

1. Before doing treadmill training, you must remember not to run on an empty stomach. It is best to eat something first, so that you can have enough energy to support your exercise during the running process. The best recommendation is to eat a banana before using the treadmill. Bananas can quickly increase your physical strength. And wear professional sports shoes.

2. Treadmills will have a mode for selecting exercise. It is recommended that you choose according to your personal physique and exercise volume. As for treadmills for home use, I suggest you turn on the quick start mode. In this way, you can switch to other modes at any time during exercise, so that you will not fall during exercise due to the high intensity of exercise and the inability to change modes.

3. When running on a treadmill, remember to keep your eyes fixed straight ahead and not look around. It is best to put something directly in front of you so that you can keep looking at it while running. This way, you will not run off the treadmill and be thrown off the exercise belt during exercise.

4. When running on a treadmill, remember that your standing position is very important. You must choose to stand on the sports belt, which is the middle part of the running belt. Don't stand too forward or too backward. Otherwise, if you stand too forward, you will step on the front board, and if you stand too backward, you will be thrown out of the treadmill by the running belt, causing accidental injury.

5. When you first start exercising on a treadmill, it is not recommended to adjust the speed directly. The treadmill is a gradual process. Therefore, when you start running, it is recommended to adjust the speed to the same speed as your normal walking speed, then slowly increase to a jog, and then continue to increase to a normal running speed. Of course, if you want to lose weight, brisk running is a good choice.

6. When running on a treadmill, remember to take big steps and a wide stride, 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 to stabilize your body. Of course, when running, remember to swing your arms just like you would normally do.

7. When you are about to finish running, remember, you cannot stop immediately, but you need to slowly slow down and eventually reach a slow walking state. Remember, you must use this order, otherwise if you stop immediately, you will feel dizzy. Moreover, using this excessive speed will also allow your body to relax after exercise and relax your muscles.

8. When children and the elderly use a treadmill, it is recommended that they be accompanied by an adult and provided with appropriate protection. Of course, for children and the elderly, it is best to choose a healthy running mode, such as mountain climbing mode or cardiopulmonary protection mode. Also, children and the elderly should not use treadmills for too long.

Through the above introduction, we know how to use a treadmill. Before using it, we cannot exercise right after a meal. We must pay attention to the speed of the treadmill when exercising. When stopping, we cannot stop the treadmill immediately. Instead, we must go from high speed to low speed and then to stop. There must be a process and we must keep up with the frequency of the treadmill.
