It would seem, what could be better than jogging in the stadium or in the nearest park with your favorite music in your headphones? However, the popularity of treadmills suggests that many people prefer to exercise on it.
Cardio training is essential for everyone who wants to lose weight, and they also train endurance. It is recommended to work out on cardiovascular equipment every day for at least half an hour. These include: treadmill, elliptical trainer, stepper, exercise bike, aerobics classes.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to run on the street: there are no stadiums within walking distance from home, and you need to get to the nearest park by transport. A treadmill is an excellent solution in this case. Its plus is that you do not depend on the weather outside, and you will not be lazy to play sports because it is cold. Having a treadmill at home allows you to combine sports and watching your favorite TV show or movie, which will come in handy in the face of a total lack of time.
Modern treadmills allow you to change the speed with which you will run; their display shows the number of calories burned and running time. In addition, they are equipped with special devices that show the pulse while jogging. The maximum allowable heart rate is calculated by the formula: 220 minus the person's age in years. Beginners are not recommended to exceed the mark over 60-70% of the maximum heart rate, continuing 70-80%, advanced - 80-90%.
In addition to speed, treadmills have such an indicator as the incline level - it allows you to create the effect of running uphill. You can set a workout program on the treadmill based on your fitness level, weight, and workout type.
If you go to the gym, include treadmills with every workout. It is best to end the lesson with a 15-20 minute jog or fast walking with a slight incline. In addition, the treadmill is great for getting started: a short 10-minute load at the beginning of a workout is sufficient, then you can start strength exercises.
