Coach's Tips

Upping the incline and speed on the treadmill engages your muscles more intensely, while minimizing strain on your knees and ligaments. This approach eases physical stress while effectively burning calories.

Start Position

1. Begin at a slow pace and gradually increase your speed once you get used to the incline.

2. Regularly check your posture to avoid leaning excessively forward or backward.

3. Keep track of your heart rate and halt if you encounter any pain or discomfort.

4. Stay mindful of the treadmill's speed and incline settings; adjust them as needed to avoid injury.

Proper Form

1. Start walking slowly on the treadmill.

2. Gradually raise the treadmill's speed as you adapt to the incline.

3. Maintain an upright posture, with your head up and shoulders back.

4. Keep your core engaged while ensuring your hips and shoulders remain level.

Breathing Technique

1. As you begin to run on the incline, inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

2. Keep a consistent, rhythmic breathing pattern during your workout.

3. Focus on fully and deeply exhaling to help oxygenate your body.

Precautions

1. Set the treadmill's incline to your preferred level.

2. Stand on the treadmill with your feet hip-width apart, facing the control console.
