A common mistake people make is that they start off heavily and are so worn out that they are completely exhausted and never use their treadmill again. Try beginning with comfortable and short workouts. As your workout becomes entrenched in your daily routine, slowly increase the duration and intensity of your workout. This will make your improvements noticeable as the days youve spent on the treadmill turn into weeks. Remember to keep your body moving for as long as possible and as fast as possible without hurting yourself. The calories burnt are often calculated for you on your treadmill display. Some people complain about the treadmill workout being easier than a similar one outdoors. This is true due to air resistance and other factors that make it slightly harder for you. However countering this problem is easy; simply increase the incline on your treadmill to 1%. Now your calories burnt will be identical to the outdoor workout. Beat the boredom. Treadmills are very convenient. They allow you to exercise within the comforts of your very own home. Hence you can enjoy your favourite TV shows and music during your workout. Other activities may include listening to talking books, reading and doing interval training with preset workout programs on your treadmill. If your workouts are limited by time constraints from a busy schedule, feel free to divide your workout routine into smaller segments. Perhaps have a 30min workout just after you wake up and before you go to bed instead of the 1hour workout in the afternoon.
