Exercise tips and tricks

Warm-Up Thoroughly: Start with a light walk or jog for 5-10 minutes to get your muscles warmed up and your heart rate gradually increased.
Use Proper Footwear: Ensure you are wearing high-quality running shoes that offer good support and cushioning to minimize the impact on your joints.
Adjust the Incline: Mimic outdoor running conditions by setting the treadmill at a 1-2% incline. This helps reduce the stress on your knees and adds a bit of resistance.
Stay Hydrated: Keep a water bottle handy and sip water regularly to stay hydrated, especially if you're running for an extended period.
Focus on Form: Maintain good posture by keeping your head up, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged. Avoid looking down at your feet.
Mix Up the Speed: Alternate between different speeds to incorporate interval training, which can make your workout more effective and less monotonous.
Listen to Your Body: If you feel discomfort or pain, slow down or take a break. It’s important to avoid injuries.
Employ Proper Breathing Techniques: Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, using rhythmic breathing to help regulate your oxygen intake.
Cool Down: Don’t abruptly stop; gradually decrease your speed and spend the last 5-10 minutes walking to help your heart rate and muscles return to normal.
Use the Treadmill’s Features: Utilize available programs and settings on the treadmill to keep your workouts varied and challenging.
