There are many benefits to using the Kpower treadmill. When the weather is bad or unsafe, using a treadmill is really a good option. Using the following tips can help you run more efficiently, happily, and safely.
1. Warm up.
Just jump on the treadmill and run. But like outdoor running, you need to warm up before running. Warming up increases your heart rate, delivers oxygen to your muscles, and increases muscle temperature to make them more efficient. Jog on the treadmill for a few minutes before accelerating and increasing the incline.
2. Know your treadmill.
Understand the various functions of the machine and make full use of it. Many treadmills have: a heart rate monitor that can help measure exercise intensity.
Calorie expenditure calculators can display information gained from running, but keep in mind that these readings are not accurate because they do not take into account your age, weight, and gender. But you should continue to exercise. Pre-programmed programs help you change your running style.
3. Lean slightly.
Set the incline of the treadmill between 1% and 2%. Because there is no wind resistance inside, the gentle uphill better simulates outdoor conditions. Of course, if you start running, you can set the incline of the treadmill to zero, mainly to make you feel comfortable while exercising.
But once you feel comfortable, don't relax. Keeping the slope at zero is actually like a small downhill.
Try to increase your speed or slope so you will find it challenging. Running rest, can improve the quality of bathing.
4. Not too steep.
Don't make the incline too steep as it puts too much strain on your back, hips and ankles.
Some people think that if they finish running on a steep hill, they will get a good workout. Don't run for more than 5 minutes on steep slopes, alternating between slopes and non-slopes for a better workout. Uphill can increase strength, flat road can increase endurance.
5. Do not hold the armrest or console.
Some people think that walking or running on a treadmill requires holding on to the handrails. The handrails are just there to help you get on and off the treadmill safely.
There are several problems with grabbing the handrail. First, it will give you a hunched back, which will make you run inefficiently and cause neck, shoulder, and back pain. Maintain an upright position. Keep your head up.
6. Don't lean forward.
Make sure your body is upright. There's no need to lean forward because running will pull the foot back. If you lean forward too much, you can cause neck and back pain and lose your balance.
7. Don't look down.
Looking down will affect the state. This can cause back and neck pain. Whether you're running on a treadmill or outdoors, looking straight ahead is the safest way to run.
8. Watch your speed.
Make yourself comfortable and take your time. Because the treadmill strap will cause you to move forward, to avoid this, keep your feet under your body rather than in front or behind.
9. Don't forget to hydrate.
Running on a treadmill can lose more water than running outside. Bring a bottle of water and refill it with at least 4 to 6 ounces of water every 20 minutes.
