Treadmill Workouts

Treadmill Workouts - muscles developed when running on the treadmill - The Heart The heart is the main muscle you workout on the treadmill. Treadmills provide great cardiovascular exercise that raises the heart rate and strengthens the overall health and stamina of the heart, Quadriceps Exercising on the treadmill works out the quadriceps muscles, located on the front of the thighs. Calves The calf muscles are located between the ankle and the knee. While walking and running these muscles act as stabilizers for the body. This is why you must stretch them on a regular basis. Hamstrings The hamstrings are located on the back of the thighs. They are effectively toned through treadmill workouts. Hamstrings can be pulled easily so you should stretch adequately before starting your workout. Glutes The proper name of this 3-part muscle group is the gluteal muscles. The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus mini- mus are located in the buttocks and they are worked intensively during treadmill exercises. 10 Facts About Treadmill Workouts On the treadmill you should set incline from 1% to 3% so you simulate the body movement as it would be in overground running. As a beginner at treadmill running, it's normal to feel a little decentralized, espe- cially when you get off the treadmill. While your legs tell the brain that you move forward, at the same time the eyes tell the brain that you're stationary. But in a few minutes this sensation disappears. When you run on the treadmill, don't lean forward because the belt pulls your feet back. The proper position is with the body upright. It's easier follow any training program on the treadmill because you set your goals and the treadmill helps you control the workout intensity. Warm up and Cool down are very important. Save at least 4-5 minutes at the beginning and minimum 5 minutes at the end of the workout for slow running (4-5 mph). Don't use the handrails while you run. Use the wireless chest straps to monitor your heart rate and keep the arms moving naturally. On the treadmill the body is stationary relative to the air around you and no air flows past your body. This is why you will feel hotter, and you will sweat more compared to outside running. So you need to hydrate more. Running on the treadmill is easier than running outdoors. Treadmills monitor performances easier because of the advanced software installed in their consoles. Running on a treadmill is usually easier on the joints than running on pavement. Use the incline mode to challenge the cardiovascular system at lower speed. + In incline mode the back muscles are used to keep the body upright. The uphill position helps to build long and lean calf muscles. It's also a good position to stretch the calves. Incline helps to build strength in your thighs (or quadriceps) and the buttocks. Incline minimizes the heel-strike impact. + Incline Mode Facts The risk of running injuries is decreased because you can do an efficient cardio workout at lower speed. You burn more fat when you use high incline because you reach the fat burning zone faster and you can stay in the zone for a longer time For incline workouts you need to set incline at minimum 10%. Training with incline mode increases muscular strength. The biceps control the elbow movements. This is why running or walking is much more efficient when the elbows are bent. Running with decline requires less energy. Compared with incline mode, decline increases the stress on the 'anti-gravity' muscles of your hips, legs and ankles. Running with decline is extremely hard on knee joints. Decline helps to increase your leg turnover, which improves your acceleration and speed on flat surfaces. *decline mode is available only on a few treadmills Decline Mode Facts In decline you workout the muscles in the calf, quadriceps, and hamstring muscle groups. Exercising with decline sustains leg muscles growth because of the eccentric muscular contractions. In decline mode your speed should not be higher than your jogging pae. A decline interval must not be more than 2 minutes long. For an efficient workout you should alternate decline intervals with flat and incline intervals. infographics by runreviews.com Treadmill Workouts - muscles developed when running on the treadmill - The Heart The heart is the main muscle you workout on the treadmill.
