Even if you prefer to get your exercise outside, there will be days when it is hot and raining.A treadmill is a great way to burn calories, increase strength and keep your body healthy.You can get the best workout on a treadmill by changing the speed and incline.
Step 1: Before you start your treadmill workout, determine your maximum heart rate.
Subtracting your age from 220 is all you have to do.If you are 40 years old, your maximum heart rate is 180.
Step 2: Run or walk on the treadmill until you reach 70 percent of your heart rate.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, hitting this target will maximize the amount of fat and calories you burn.
Step 3: The heart rate monitor is on the treadmill.
You just need to put your hands in the designated location to use the machines that measure your heart rate.
Step 4: For as long as you can, walk or run at between 70 and 85 percent of your maximum heart rate.
If you get tired, slow your pace to a jog or walk and then build back up to the 70 to 85 percent level again.
Step 5: You should increase the speed on your treadmill to the point where you are walking or running.
This will increase the number of calories you burn during your workout as well as raising your heart rate.
Step 6: Slowly build your way up to a higher speed.
You can walk for 5 minutes at a speed of 2 and then raise it to 5 for 10 minutes.Continue until you are running.
Step 7: Run hard in intervals.
If you want to run fast on your treadmill, set the speed to an easy jog and then increase it for 3 to 5 minutes.Bring it back to a jog.
Step 8: You can start your workout on a treadmill by walking or running for a few minutes.
Step 9: The incline level should be gradually increased.
Continue until you feel like you are walking or running uphill, then raise it to a 3 and then a 5.This will give your legs and lower body a great strength workout and increase the number of calories you burn.
Step 10: You should look for settings on your treadmill.
Some of them have a "hiking trail" that will give you periods of flat walking or running as well as inclines.
Step 11: Combine incline levels and speed intervals.
The change in pace and incline will help keep your workout interesting.
