treadmill is a total fun. It not only offers you jogging and running
but a whole host of exercises. Below are some of the workouts that
will not consume more than an hour and would rid you of that extra
bulge around your waist. Here goes your way to healthy, happy life:
The speed demon
In this exercise you will alternate
your running speed. First give yourself a warm up with around 10
minutes of light jogging then set your treadmill at a faster rate of
20 seconds per mile as compared to your latest speed in a 5 kilometer
streak. Then run fast for around 3 minutes and then slow down for
another 3 minutes. Do it for three to four times. And after you have
finished jogging, it is necessary that you take a rest of around 5
minutes.
The progression
Start with some warm up. Next, set the
treadmill at 15 seconds faster than your best pace. You need to run
continuously for around 5 minutes without stopping. Then do not
finish the exercise abruptly. Jog slowly for around 10 minutes to
wind up. In the weeks to come by, slowly increase your workout time
by 1 minute every week.
The indoor hills or indoor
marathon
First of, warm up yourself. Now, raise
the elevation of treadmill by 1 degree after 1 minute to 2 degrees,
and run for 2 minutes. That is, you need to follow a pattern of
1-2-1-3-1-4-1-5-1-6-1-7, raising the elevation of the treadmill after
every 2 minutes until it reaches 7 degree. Don't be bogged down if
you cannot reach up to 7 degrees. You need several attempts to do
this and lastly finish off your exercise with 5-7 minutes of cool
down.
The Broderick Crawford
It
is another useful treadmill exercise where you are required to run
continuously for 10 minutes and then slow down for 4
minutes. You need to do this three times.
Apart from the above mentioned
exercises, there are lots of them that you can try out. Yes, home
