The Kpower treadmill has taken a place in many families, and gym exercise is the norm, however, the incorrect method makes the exercise results unsatisfactory.

Mistake 1: Running as soon as you get on the treadmill

Warm-up activities should be done before the treadmill, leg press, squat, stretch muscles, flexion and extension joints can increase the temperature of the muscles, so that the muscles become more soft and not easy to strain. After walking on the treadmill, we should start with a "dynamic" warm-up such as slow walking and jogging, and gradually increase the amount of exercise, which is usually appropriate for 10 to 15 minutes. You should also gradually slow down when getting off the treadmill to avoid dizziness.

Mistake # 2: Running for too long

When running, the body's supply of energy material is from sugar to fat to protein. Jogging for more than half an hour will consume fat, and more than 1 hour will consume protein.

Therefore, if the purpose is to lose weight, the time of exercise should not be too short, nor too long.

Mistake No. 3: Running with the handle

Running is not only the movement of the legs, the coordinated swing of the arms can not only maintain the balance of the whole body, but also allow the upper body to participate in the consumption of energy. Some people running to hold the handle, the body center of gravity forward, will increase the pressure of the lumbar spine, time will cause lumbar muscle strain. In addition, during running, the impact of the ball of the foot when it lands is almost five times your body weight, and the forward tilt of the center of gravity will bring more impact to the leg and foot joints.

Therefore, when exercising on the treadmill, be sure to pull in your stomach and lift your chest and tighten your back muscles.

Mistake # 4: The higher the slope, the better

Increasing the incline and speed of the treadmill will increase the intensity of the exercise, and the choice of the intensity of the exercise will vary from person to person. For example, the middle-aged and elderly people running when the slope is too high will increase the damage to the knee joint, so try to exercise in a horizontal state. The speed is not the faster the better, in the different ways of running, jogging, fast walking, climbing and so on, the proportion of energy material consumed by the body is different. For example, fast running can burn more sugar, but burn less fat, which is not good for people who exercise for weight loss.

Mistake # 5: Not wearing shoes or wearing the wrong shoes

Some people use a treadmill at home to run with their feet or wearing only socks. In fact, when running barefoot, the vibration of the treadmill will cause unnecessary damage to the knees, ankles and other joints, and it is easy to slip when the feet sweat.

Wearing a pair of thick socks can play a certain shock absorption effect, but after all, socks do not have the flexibility of sports soles, and can not replace sports shoes. So wear jogging shoes when you're on the treadmill.

6. Watching TV while running

Watching TV while running is likely to distract you. The slightest mistake can cause injury, especially for those who are unfamiliar with treadmill operation and exercise intensity. Those who are more skilled at jogging can choose something with a brisk or relaxing rhythm.

Mistake # 7: Treadmills are only used for running

The versatility of the Klonjia treadmill has made it more than just a running conveyor belt. "Additional" items such as rowing machines, thrusters, and bicycles enable people to exercise many parts of the heart and lung function, upper and lower limb muscles, back and abdominal muscles, etc., on the same machine. In addition, on the treadmill with dumbbells and other training, can exercise more muscle groups. However, it needs to be reminded that this type of exercise should be carried out under the guidance of professional fitness coaches as far as possible.
