One of the Most Popular Pieces of Exercise Equipment

When it comes to exercising from the comfort of your own home, the treadmill is by far one of the most popular options, offering a straight-forward, simple, and efficient aerobic workout. For beginners, treadmills provide an excellent option to get them started in the world of fitness, because walking can be tolerated by most people regardless of their fitness level, or potential problems. As endurance and strength begin to grow, a treadmill can then be used for running, jogging, and interval training.

Treadmill hire provides a versatile way for people to exercise, regardless of if factors like weather, and high fuel prices attempt to sabotage your fitness plans. Walking on a treadmill helps to exercise the same muscles that you would utilize when walking on a track outdoors, however, the main difference is that a treadmill allows you to adjust your incline and speed.

Building Muscles

Walking of any nature helps to work out the muscles of your lower body, including the hamstrings and quadriceps in your thighs, the soleus and gastrocnemius in your calves, your gluteal muscles, and of course, the hip flexors. When you run on a treadmill, and use your arms or bring your abdominal muscles into the mix through flexing, you can get a more thorough over-all workout. Walking on a treadmill is preferable to simply walking outdoors, because you can set your speed and resistance as your endurance continues to grow, allowing you to develop defined, stronger, muscles.

Feeling That Burn

Of course, bulking up your muscles isn’t the only benefit that comes with using a treadmill they are also amazing for helping you to burn calories and lose excess fat throughout your entire body. Walking at as little as 3.5 miles per hour can potentially burn around 314 calories for a person weighing 160 pounds. Whats more, treadmills dont spot reduce, meaning you wont end up with skinny thighs and excess weight everywhere else. Regular walking or running exercise helps to burn away that unwanted fat all over your body.

Taking Advantage of the Incline

After a while, when you repeat the same workout or exercises over and over again, your body will start to adapt to that pattern, meaning that your workout becomes less challenging. The great thing about hiring a treadmill, is that when youre ready for your workouts intensity to increase, you can simply boost the incline. This helps you to burn more calories, work your muscles, and push you further than ever before. If you want to try working up to a steeper incline in your treadmill workout, start out with shorter sessions at a steeper incline. For example, hit an incline for thirty seconds, then reduce to no incline for two minutes, and go in and out of this routine.

Using a Treadmill Safely
To use the treadmill as safely as possible, start off by setting one foot each side of the treadmill belt. Usually, there are foot-rails on the machines for this specific purpose. Once you have ensured that the machine is set to a low speed that you can handle, step onto the belt, and adjust your incline and speed accordingly. When you walk, keep your eyes straight ahead, as your feet will follow your line of sight, and checking out whats happening behind you could cause you to lose your balance. Remember to find out where the emergency stop button for the machine is before you get started, and dont feel like you cant use it if you start to get overwhelmed.

Common Treadmill Mistakes to Avoid

1. Always using the handrails: Using the handrails for every workout may make your exercise routine a lot easier, but this isnt necessarily what you want if youre trying to achieve better fitness. The less you have to work during your exercise, the less calories you are going to burn. Whats more, using the handrails can actually encourage bad body alignment and poor posture, producing an inefficient gait when you are walking or running. Try to avoid using the hand rails unless you are trying to get a reading on your pulse.

2. Simply stepping off a treadmill when its moving: Just because youve seen it on a music video doesnt mean you should do it. Stepping off a moving treadmill is dangerous, and you could serious hurt yourself.

3. Looking down to read something: This encourages hunching and poor posture for running. It can also make the act of running itself more complex by throwing off your balance.

The Advantages of Hiring a Treadmill
You can use your treadmill whenever you want, at any time of day, without having to wait for other people to finish their work out first.

The treadmill is a simple piece of equipment to use, so youre not going to struggle with getting started.

The surface of a treadmill is predictable, and much easier to negotiate than curbs, sidewalks, and roads, reducing your risk of tripping.

With your own treadmill, you can control every aspect of your workout, from your warm-up period, to the cool-down period, the speed, and the incline.

Some particularly impressive treadmills come with heart-rate monitors that allow you to track the progress of your fitness routine.
