Wondering why, even though you are dedicated to time on that
treadmill, you still aren’t seeing results? You could be doing it wrong. Here
are some mistakes you could be making that could be holding you back.
Not focusing: The thing that some people love about
treadmills is that they’re convenient for multitasking, like reading a
magazine, or having a conversation with your workout buddy. If you want to see
results though you need to push yourself. Focus on your workout. Increase your
speed.
Not relaxing: While running on a treadmill may not
feel as natural as running outside, you need to remember not to tense up. Try
not to crowd the front of the treadmill and relax your form. It can alleviate
neck, shoulder, and lower back pains that may cause you to take a break from
your routine.
Not adjusting the incline: You’ll become a better
runner if you increase the incline on that treadmill & you’ll burn more
calories. Even a 1% increase will help & you won’t be able to notice.
Increasing the incline also helps you avoid shin splints.
Same old, same old: The reason you may not being
seeing the numbers on the scale change at all could be because you aren’t
changing the speed on your treadmill. Using a treadmill at the same speed
everyday can cause you to plateau, so switch it up!
Treadmill loyalty: If the treadmill and the locker
room are the only parts of your gym that you really see, then you're missing
out on some great calorie-burning potential. Break the habit: start or end your
running session with strength training (this five-minute basic workout is a
great place to start) in order to build those metabolism-boosting muscles.
Holding on: If you feel unsafe running on a treadmill
without holding on to the handle bars, you could be hindering your results.
When you run hands free you burn more calories and you work your upper body as
well. Slow down your speed until you get the hang of not hanging on and keep
your abs engaged to help balance yourself.
