Achieving Your Fitness Goals
March 14th, 2010 by admin
The best advice is that, if you haven’t been working out on a regular basis, you should begin your treadmill training by walking at a slow, steady pace for as long as it feels comfortable to do so. A short, brief walk to start with is recommended to prevent extreme muscle fatigue and soreness. Take baby steps. Increase the length and intensity of your walks a little at a time, as your strength and endurance improve.
First, decide what fitness goals you want to reach. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to build endurance? Do you want to strengthen your heart and lower body? Be sure to set realistic goals that can be reached. To avoid exercise boredom, vary your treadmill workouts by using one of the automatic workout programs or by adjusting the speed and treadmill incline levels manually. Listen to your favorite music, watch TV, or read to make the workouts seem less tedious.
