About

If you change the speed every certain period of time, you can maximize the effect!

How to Treadmill Running

Starting Position

Please keep your back straight and look straight ahead.

Proper Form

1. Adjust the speed and incline on the treadmill, hold onto the handles, and start slowly.

2. Once you reach your desired speed, run while swinging your arms naturally.

3. At the end of your workout, reduce the speed, and get off once the treadmill has completely stopped.

Breathing Technique

Start running while inhaling and maintain it while exhaling.

Precautions

If your knees are not good, do not raise the angle, hold onto the handrail, and walk slowly.
