Treadmill Run



Printer-friendly version



Description


Step 1: Step on treadmill. Your feet should be on the sides of the treadmill as you turn it on and increase the speed. Start walking on the belt as the treadmill builds speed.

 

Step 2: Once it reaches sufficient speed, start to jog, increasing the speed until you are able to run at a good pace (usually around 6 mph). The speed can be increased or decreased throughout the workout depending on how you feel. An all-out sprint for most people would likely be around 10 mph on a treadmill.

 

Step 3: You can also increase the incline on the treadmill for a greater challenge.

 

Step 4: Continue running until you have met the distance you want or you reach your desired time.

 

 

Benefits:

Running on the treadmill is a great way to increase your cardiovascular strength throughout your body. Because of the bounce of the treadmill, it can also be easier on your knees and joints than running outside or on a hard surface.

Increasing the speed and increasing the incline adds to the challenge.

Be sure to start at a pace you can handle before increasing the speed.
