Is the treadmill effective for weight loss? Does it hurt the legs?

Many people have now started various weight loss methods. Indeed, losing weight is the dream of many female friends. Female friends all want to have a slim and sexy figure. However, we must master scientific methods to lose weight. Blind weight loss cannot achieve good weight loss results, and it will also cost us a lot of energy, physical strength, time and money. What is the treadmill weight loss method?

Treadmills are common fitness equipment in homes and gyms, and are helpful for weight loss and cardiopulmonary exercise. Long-term exercise can tighten the leg muscles and make the lines more beautiful. Be sure to control the time and speed when using a treadmill. Here is an introduction to time and speed control when running on a treadmill;

Warm up: 5 to 10 minutes, no faster than 8

Use a treadmill to warm up or relax, and the time should be controlled within 5 to 10 minutes. The speed should not exceed 8. Especially when doing warm-up exercises, it is best to run at a speed of 4.5 for 3 to 5 minutes, then run at a speed of 8 for 2 to 3 minutes, and then reduce to a speed of 5 for 3 to 5 minutes. This can avoid unnecessary consumption of physical energy. The slope can be between 0% and 4%.

Weight loss: 30 to 40 minutes

The consumption of body fat will only begin after half an hour to forty-five minutes of moderate intensity exercise, so you must control the time and speed when using a treadmill. It is best to set the time to 30 to 40 minutes. If you are going to do other exercises, you can reduce the time but it is best not to be less than 20 minutes. The speed setting varies according to gender. It is best for men at 6.5 km/h and for women at 5.5 km/h. Also, pay attention to the swing of your arms when running, and don't hold on to the handrails, because this can consume more energy and is more natural and safer.

Using a treadmill to lose weight has become a topic of particular concern for many of our female friends who want to lose weight. The treadmill can indeed achieve a good weight loss effect and can effectively help us burn fat, but the treadmill also requires us to master scientific methods to be able to more effectively help us achieve the effect of weight loss.
