Treadmills have been around for quite some time but the number of workouts we can do is ever-changing. Depending on your fitness goals, you may want to customize your workout routine on the treadmill to better suit your needs. There are a variety of options available and some pretty incredible equipment out there.
You want to use the right tool for the right job, so find a product that you like and get comfortable with the treadmills that you will be using regularly. Once you are acquainted with the general settings, it’s time to get familiar with yourself. Take some time to see what your endurance levels are like and factor that into your workout routine. Below are some of the latest trends and advances in treadmill workouts.
Endurance Workouts
Choose a machine from Sole Treadmills with a powerful motor and a stable base if you choose to do endurance exercises because you will be running the extra mile. Endurance training usually starts with a warm-up and ends with a cooldown of walking. In the interim, you will be alternating between running at a steady pace and a light jog (or walk). If you’re building on your endurance for a 5K, you may consider raising the incline of the treadmill so that you are getting more out of your exercise routine during the slower minutes.
Interval Workouts
Interval workouts are also known as High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts. This type of workout is good for anyone who is interested in improving their running. Interval workouts on treadmills will help to strengthen your endurance and help to burn a considerable amount of body fat too. Rapidly cycling between fast-paced jogging or sprinting, and slow relaxing strides where you catch your breath is a great way to get your metabolism going. Being able to set your treadmill to pre-programmed intervals or change the speed on demand is a game changer for timed workouts.
12-3-30
The “12-3-30” workout has been widely brought up recently. It is a rebranding of a common exercise practice that has been getting a lot of attention lately due to the results seen by some influencers on social media apps. It is a workout with these parameters: set your treadmills to incline to 12%, set the rate of speed to 3.0MPH, and walk for a period of 30 minutes. It’s pretty simple when you spell it out but it will prove to be challenging after the first few minutes of steadily walking what feels like uphill.
Advances In Tech Make Exercise Easy
Using a treadmill at home or at your local gym is a great way to add a workout routine to your schedule. As a bonus, many now come with ports to charge your phones for keeping the music pumping. You won’t have to be subjected to inclement weather or crowded walking trails. More so, you can custom-tailor your exercise to your individual needs without having to change your environment. Having a high-powered, durable treadmill will allow you to give it your all without ever having to leave the block.
