White-collar workers who work all day in cubicles and have no time for activities should love to use treadmills for fitness, right? However, some white-collar workers complain that frequent use of treadmills can actually harm their bodies. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the treadmill itself, but improper use can damage one's health. So, how exactly should one use it correctly?
One, Warm up before getting on the treadmill
Before getting on the treadmill, you should do warm-up exercises, otherwise it is easy to cause thigh and calf muscle strains. Stretching your legs, squatting, stretching muscles, and flexing joints can increase the temperature of your muscles, making them more flexible. After getting on the treadmill, you should start with "dynamic" warm-ups such as slow walking or jogging, gradually increasing the intensity, and this process usually lasts about 10~15 minutes. Additionally, when getting off the treadmill, you should also gradually reduce the speed to avoid dizziness and falling.
Two, Don't set the speed too fast
When using a treadmill, you first need to understand your own exercise limits. If your stamina cannot keep up and the set speed is too fast, it is easy to fall.
Three, The amount of exercise should be appropriate
The time and intensity of exercise on the treadmill should be determined based on your exercise goals. If your goal is weight loss, the duration of exercise should not be too short or too long, with 40 minutes being ideal, otherwise, it is easy to overexert yourself.
