Treadmill Weight Loss Tips

A treadmill is designed for the most natural form of exercise which is walking. You don't need any special skills to use these machines because if you can walk, you can exercise on a treadmill.

Treadmill weight loss is one of the most successful methods of losing weight. Just be consistent and work within your fat burning target range for 5 to 10 minutes. Once you are comfortable walking, you can start jogging and then running on the treadmill. This takes some practice.



If you are just starting out, check with your doctor before you begin any exercise regime. When you begin, start at a nice, easy pace, do shorter workouts for a few weeks and increase the length and intensity as your fitness level improves.

The biggest mistake treadmill users make is holding on to the handles while walking or running. Holding onto the treadmill creates a long list of problems for the exerciser, including:

# Decreased exercise intensity (burning fewer calories and reducing aerobic conditioning benefits)
# Compromised posture and body mechanics
# Increased risk of muscle strain

Here are some important tips to remember when walking:

Maintain a proper posture, keep you head up, relax your neck and look straight ahead.


Take steps that are comfortable for you, not too short or too long.


Concentrate on your breathing. Try to breathe normally, taking in deep, smooth breaths.

A few good tips to help break the boredom while exercising on the treadmill are:

Listen to up beat music, books on tape or teaching tapes.

Read a book or magazine.

Chat with a friend on the treadmill next to you.

Watch yourself in the mirror to work on your posture and walking technique.

Watch your favorite tv show.

Dress appropriately for your workout. Walking on a treadmill is easier on the joints than walking on pavement, but you still need to wear proper footwear such as walking or running shoes. Never walk on the treadmill barefoot or in sandals as this could result in injuries.

Should i eat before or after doing excercise?



You should eat protien rich foods before any kind of excersize, but make sure it's not directly before or you will get a cramp. Make sure it's a half hour to an hour before your workout.
