Top Tips for a Better Treadmill Workout

Stepping into utime Fitness Studio’s for the first time may be a little overwhelming, simply because there are so many different exercise machines to choose from. One great way many people get a good cardio workout in is to step on a treadmill for a brisk walk or run. The humble treadmill should really be part of any workout regimen, even if you are all about building muscle mass. It’s always important to improve your stamina and cardio– and a treadmill can help you achieve both.
Now you know that the treadmill should be one of your go to pieces of equipment at the gym, you will want to learn some tips that will help you get the most out of the machine. The first thing that you need to know is that you need to warm up a little first. Some people think that the treadmill is a machine that can be used as a warm-up before a workout, but that is not necessarily the case. Our top treadmill tip: Always stretch first!

Another great way to get more out of a treadmill is to use the incline function. You are not going to get much from simply running on a flat surface, but once you get a little incline in there, that brisk walk quickly becomes a real workout. That said, going too steep too soon can lead to potential muscle strains, so learn your limits and work up to those steeper inclines.
You goal here is to get a full body workout, which means that those treadmill rails or handlebars should only be used when you need to steady yourself or feel that you need a breather. Work those arms when you run and get the blood pumping all over. Posture is also something that needs to be paid attention to. There is a tendency to lean or slump over when you run on a treadmill, so make sure that you are in an upright position at all times.
Another thing that you need to remember when you are running on a treadmill is to stay hydrated. The units at utime Fitness Studio’s all come with holders where you can place your water, so you don’t need to worry about needing to juggle your juice while you run. If you are looking to really up the pace and get a great cardio workout on the treadmill, get those headphones in and get your favorite music going. Fast-paced music can motivate you as well as simply helping you to enjoy your workout more, while you get in some serious shape at utime!
