]]> It’s easy to hop on the treadmill and fiddle with the settings. And while you can get a good workout by doing that, it’s good to know exactly how to get the very most you can out of your treadmill run. Here are some things to keep in mind that may not have occurred to you to check.

Use an Incline

Walking on a slight incline is a good way to ensure you get the right resistance out of your walk and run. Think about it: with the mat moving under you and no wind resistance or unevenness like outside, no incline is easier than a normal run. Don’t overdo it though, as too high an incline for extended periods of time can cause undue strain.

Use Music or TV to Stay Focused

Sometimes the best way to run is to let yourself get lost in a show or playlist and let your body take over. The natural breaks for commercials or a new song will also give you a sense of when it’s time to ramp up or cool down. Remember, if you do watch TV, make sure you don’t need to turn your head to do so because prolonged head turning will strain your neck!

Don’t Forget Warmup and Cool-down

With a treadmill, it’s easier to get a head start and to stop immediately when you’re done because you just press the buttons, instead of needing to make yourself go faster or walk home when you’re done. But warmup and cool-down are important for your heart rate. If your machine has a heart rate sensor you can use that to ensure you’re raising and lowering safely.

]]> Treadmill running is a great cardio workout, perfect for improving running performance and burning fat. If you’re looking for ways to make your treadmill workouts more intense and effective, here’s how you can do it much quicker than you think!

Sprint Intervals

Sprint training burns more calories and builds speed compared to low-intensity workouts, so make sure to add them to your routine at least once a week. Sprint intervals are pretty straightforward: you run at full speed for 30 seconds and then rest or jog for 30 to 60 seconds.

Speed Up

When jogging becomes too boring and easy, make sure to adjust your speed—because the faster you run, the more calories you’ll burn. You don’t have to sprint, but try to increase your speed from time to time in order to make workouts more intense.

Add Incline

Another great way to challenge your body and burn more calories is to add a few inclines. This will help you tone leg muscle and get your heart rate up in no time.

Run With Weights

Ankle weights and dumbbells can also increase the intensity of your workouts but you shouldn’t do this too often and it’s best to consult with a trainer first.

]]> TikTok led to the emergence of countless viral trends this year, even in the world of fitness. One of the latest is Lauren Giraldo’s “12-3-30” treadmill workout, and people are wondering how it works and if it’s effective.

You can perform this viral workout by changing the settings on your treadmill to incline: 12, speed: 3, and time: 30 minutes. Giraldo uploaded her original workout to YouTube back in 2019, but it only gain traction after a shorter video on TikTok recently received millions of views.

Giraldo discussed her viral workout with Today and said she came up with it by playing around with the treadmill settings at her gym. She admitted she struggled in the beginning, but the workout helped her feel less intimidated at the gym and she really started to enjoy it.

If you’re thinking of trying it yourself, keep in mind that working out this way for 30 minutes straight isn’t a realistic goal if you’re still a beginner. Your incline should also be increased gradually, and you should take rest days in between because this workout can put a lot of stress on your lower back, feet, and knees due to its high-impact nature.

Treadmill Workouts For Fat Loss

In the first minute do a light jog to warm up your legs then increase the speed to your running pace for 1 minute, then run faster for a minute, then sprint for another minute. Walk for a minute. Increase the incline by 3% and do the same run, fast run, sprint. You can keep increasing the incline and doing the same 1-1-1 for another 3 rounds. Make sure you do a light jog to cool down/recover at the end.

15-Minute Treadmill HIIT workout

Do a 2-minute warm-up jog and then for the next 5 minutes increase the incline depending on your fitness. Decrease the speed for a recovery jog and then for a 2 minutes run fast. Decrease the speed again for a recovery jog and for the last 4 minutes do 30-second sprints followed by 30-second recoveries.

Treadmill Workout For Improving Speed

Estimate your fastest 1-minutes sprint that you are able to do on a treadmill. Start your workout 4km/h below that speed. Do a 2-3 minute jog and then for the first 1.5 minutes run at the speed under your max increasing the incline by 1% every 30 seconds. Recover on 0% incline for 1.5 minutes. Continue this sequence for 9 minutes, increasing your incline 1%. For the last 7 minutes do 30 seconds on a 7% incline and then drop the incline and add 1km/hr, recover and then add 2km/hr until you reach your maximum speed. Make sure to cool down at the end.

#TealsTipTuesday – Treadmill Edition ••• I’m pretty sure that I’ve logged more treadmill miles in the first 8 weeks of my @bostonmarathon training cycle than my entire running life combined. Spending this much time on the 'mill has definitely been an adjustment but luckily I’ve picked up a few hacks that have really helped. ••• 1⃣ For runs without certain target paces, I am always increasing and decreasing the pace and incline by .1 or .2. This more closely matches running outside and also helps break things up. I play games in my head like when the time hits 22:22, I’ll increase .2 for both pace and incline etc. 2⃣ Embrace the suck. I’ve started thinking of the treadmill as a way to improve my mental toughness and just acknowledge that it’s going to be harder than running outside. I know that thinking back to all of the times I grinded out 10+ miles on the treadmill will help carry me through when Boston gets tough. 3⃣ Save something for treadmill time. I always watch Netflix on my iPad during longer runs and having #Cheer to watch has actually made me look forward to my indoor runs. I also save podcast episodes that I’m excited about to listen to during the short stuff. 4⃣ The biggest change I’ve made to make treadmill running more manageable is to focus on my effort and not the actual pace. I have always found that any pace on the treadmill feels 10x harder than it does outside. Which means that I reallyyyy struggle during long marathon or threshold paced efforts and actually can’t make it through without falling off which completely destroys my confidence. I’ve run long enough to know what those paces feel like outside so that’s what I do. I throw my towel over the screen and increase the pace until it matches what I know I’d be feeling like outside. This has helped me 1 million percent. ••• Do you have any other treadmill hacks? I still have a lot of miles ahead of me!
