Why is that most people stop using treadmill after some time? Some say it’s a source of visual entertainment and soon loses its charm if the performer stops enjoying it. Moreover, without quick results in weight loss, a treadmill experience seems pointless. Achieving great results on treadmill is just a matter of running that extra mile but where to find that motivation. I am about to reveal the tops 2 means to spice up that otherwise boring experience.
Go for “the Hill”
Those of you who have had military training will know what I mean by “the hill”. Those of you who can recall those military days will agree that they make you run on different terrains. They make you experience the dryness of deserts, the slippery ice covered roads, the grassy fields and the dense forests. You can enjoy that toughness on a treadmill when you do the “Hill” cardio program.
Actually, it’s simpler than it sounds. Set the treadmill on Hills setting and start running. It’s the inclined plane that makes it a fascinating workout. Start off at a slower pace and increase the speed after one week. This type of workout gives you a sweet pain while gradually increasing your heart rate. After every hill cardio program, there will be some muscle fatigue that occurs due to the inclined plane of the treadmill.
Sprinting mix
While running on a treadmill, there is always a way to spice things up by adding intervals or short bursts of sprinting. Over-sprinting is not recommended right from the beginning of the workout. Your heart rate must first be elevated to cope up with additional stress. Attempting to sprint without warming up can cause injury. An ideal sprinting session takes 20 minutes and there must be recovery intervals before and after the sprint.
Your speed during recovery period must replicate the light jogging style, nothing heavy but just enough to get your heart rate pumping. Moreover, long duration sprints will make you tired in a while. Hence, the duration of sprints should be lesser than the recovery span. This strategy will prevent the muscles from tiring earlier in the session.
