Walking on a treadmill to lose weight

Does walking on a Treadmill also have a weight loss effect? Below, the editor will share with you several correct methods for losing weight on a treadmill. Let's take a look together.

Can walking on a treadmill help you lose weight?

Fast walking on the treadmill can help you lose weight, that is, increasing your stride and walking quickly, but slow walking cannot. Slow walking on the treadmill won't have much weight loss effect. The main reason for obesity is the accumulation of fat in the body, which consumes much less energy than the intake. To slim down and lose weight, it is necessary to burn fat and keep the body's energy metabolism in a balanced state. Walking slowly on a treadmill does not cause significant energy metabolism in the body, so it cannot lose weight. However, fast walking can tense the muscles in the arms and feet, increase energy metabolism, and have a good weight loss effect.

What is the appropriate speed for brisk walking on the treadmill to lose weight?

The speed of brisk walking on a treadmill varies from person to person, generally around 6.5-8.0. Differences in body shape, heart rate, and treadmill can cause differences in brisk walking speed among different individuals. Generally, a heart rate of 120 beats per minute is used as the standard, indicating that the body is effectively burning fat.

How long does brisk walking on the treadmill take to have weight loss effects?

The fitness time should not be less than 40 minutes, and only when it reaches 40 minutes, the body fat starts to burn when walking fast for 20 minutes. By 40 minutes, it can basically burn up to a part. With long-term adherence to diet, it can have a slimming effect in one month.

Proper use of treadmill for weight loss

Some households are equipped with a treadmill, and running is the healthiest aerobic exercise. How to use a treadmill correctly to lose weight? If your physical fitness is poor, it is advisable to consume 100-200 kcal/time at the beginning. After your physical fitness gradually improves, it can be increased to 200-300 kcal/time. Moderate physical fitness can consume 200-400 kcal/time, while better physical fitness may consume 400 kcal/time or more (specific circumstances vary from person to person). Let's take a look at the specific methods below!

1. First, we need to warm up

Many people run directly on the treadmill, which is a bad habit and can also cause muscle strains in the thighs and calves. You should start with warm-up exercises, such as leg pressure exercises, squats, muscle stretching, flexion and extension joints, which can increase muscle temperature and make them softer. After getting on the treadmill, you should start with a dynamic warm-up such as slow walking and jogging, gradually increasing the amount of exercise. This process is usually recommended to take 10-15 minutes. Pay attention to gradually slowing down the speed of the treadmill, otherwise it is easy to feel dizzy and fall.

2. The speed should not be too fast

The first thing to do when using a treadmill is to understand your sports limits. If the physical strength cannot keep up and the set speed is very fast, it is easy to fall.

3. The amount of exercise should be appropriate

To achieve weight loss, it is important to control the amount of exercise well, and the duration of exercise should not be too short or too long. It is advisable to exercise for 40 minutes, otherwise it is easy for physical exhaustion. So it must be determined based on one's own situation
4. Proper posture during running
Running is aerobic exercise, and the body will participate in it. If you have a chest arch or keep holding onto the handle while running, not only will it not have the effect of exercise, but it will also increase the pressure on the lumbar spine, which can cause lumbar muscle strain over time. Therefore, when exercising on a treadmill, it is important to tighten your abdomen, chest, and lower back muscles.

5. Running and listening to music

You can listen to some relaxing music while running. Research has shown that fast-paced music can effectively improve athletic performance and increase sports enjoyment. But be careful not to do distracting things like watching TV.

6. Running requires wearing shoes

Many people don't like to wear shoes when running at home. The vibration of the treadmill can cause unnecessary damage to the leg joints. Slow running shoes are a good choice. They are lighter than regular shoes and have a softer sole, making them suitable for use on Treadmills.

Finally, I believe that as long as you persist in exercising like this every day, the amount of fat loss is not very important. More importantly, your muscles will become increasingly tight. Even if your weight remains the same, your muscles will become tight, so you will not look so fat and will look very healthy and strong.
In fact, our goal in adhering to fitness is not to lose weight, but to make our body more perfect and healthy, which is better. Isn't it true that thinner is better?
Anyone who regularly works out doesn't look very thin, it's the kind with obvious muscle lines, prominent body curves, and looks particularly healthy and energetic.

So if you persist in exercising, what's more important is not that you're getting thinner, but that you can keep your weight off and your figure is becoming more and more perfect!
