How to lose weight correctly

1. Understand the above data

In fact, the numbers on the treadmill are only an estimate of the energy consumed on the treadmill, and are not very accurate. For example, when running at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour or above, the amount of calories consumed per 1.6 kilometers is equal to 0.75 times body weight. In this way, the speed at which the treadmill burns fat is roughly the same as the amount of calories burned during road running.

2. The effect of the treadmill

The answer is actually very simple. Running on a treadmill can feel tiring, but from a physical perspective, it should be easier than outdoors. Running on a treadmill does not require overcoming the influence of wind resistance, and the exercise belt can also help you. This is why a treadmill is simple and not affected by external forces, and you can run anytime and anywhere.

3. Wear professional running shoes

As we all know, treadmills vibrate more when running, you can choose lighter weight shoes with less cushioning on the treadmill. Because the treadmill is much softer than the road, there is no need to wear shoes with too much cushioning. If the weight is too heavy, it is recommended to wear running shoes with better support, and it is best to run and walk together.

4、Treadmill should be used in this way

Outdoor running, in addition to running on flat roads, we will also choose to run on slopes, so that the fat-burning effect will be better. The treadmill is the same, we can adjust the angle of the treadmill. Jogging uphill on the treadmill can practice strength, while running fast without an incline can practice stamina, endurance and speed. The speed and slope can be adjusted when exercising, which can better simulate the changes in road and terrain conditions, so that the effect is not worse than outdoor running, and the fat-burning effect may be better. We can appropriately increase the slope when running, so that the more energy is consumed.

5, how to choose a treadmill

In addition to going to the gym to run on the treadmill, we can also buy a treadmill at home. How to choose a treadmill reasonably? The more expensive the treadmill, the stronger the overall frame, the better the motor, and the longer it can be used. But some treadmills are too expensive, maybe these treadmills are luxury for most people, there is no need, so just buy a reasonably priced treadmill.
After running, you must stretch, this is very important, but it is not recommended to stretch on the treadmill, some people may question why?
Because: two days ago, a netizen broke the news that he was running on the treadmill in the gym, experienced a horrible moment of electrocution, incontinence on the spot. According to the woman's own account: she was stretching between the handles of two treadmills that weren't running. Her left hand touched the aluminum part of the treadmill handles and her body was instantly electrocuted, while at the same time, her right hand, which was resting on the treadmill on the right side, was also sucked into the aluminum part! At that moment, I wanted to pull it out but couldn't. I gradually lost consciousness, became incontinent, and desperately called for help: I was electrocuted!

Blackie was really shocked when he saw it. Even if you go for a run, you can get electrocuted. So, how can we prevent such accidents from happening?

Treadmill precautions

Check the power supply before running

Check if the treadmill is placed smoothly and if the tabletop is dry. If there are sweat stains, wipe them clean. Insert the power cord plug into a safely grounded power outlet. If the power cord is damaged, contact the gym staff in a timely manner or call the manufacturer for help. When not using the treadmill at home, unplug the power cord plug and keep it safe.

Pay attention to children and pets

When using a treadmill, it is best not to have anyone around. This person mainly refers to children. Do not let children and pets get close, as their autonomy is relatively poor and getting close can easily lead to accidents. Also, it is best to have someone supervise minors and the elderly while running, and the treadmill speed should not be too fast.

Adjust speed and look ahead

When using a treadmill to adjust speed and angle, it is important to adjust slowly, as mechanical changes on the surface often lag behind. When exercising, make sure your eyes are level ahead, do not look left or right, do not suddenly turn your head, and remember not to turn back. This can easily cause you to fall down due to not keeping up with the frequency of running. You must stop before you can stop.
After we finish running, we need to slowly slow down the running speed until the treadmill speed stabilizes and the heart rate drops below 120 beats per minute before pressing the stop button to get off the treadmill. After running, do not leave the running area and stretch.
