Like many cardio workouts, treadmill exercises engage multiple muscle groups to provide a full-body workout. The leg muscles bear the brunt of the work during a treadmill workout but the abdomen, back, buttocks, and arm muscles are also engaged. Maintaining proper posture while running on the treadmill will engage core muscles even further and provide a more well-rounded workout.
Additionally, pairing the treadmill exercise with light strength training will help engage arm muscles during the workout.
Many people choose to hold weights while exercising on the treadmill to further increase the intensity of the workout. To find a treadmill that works best with your exercise plan and workout goals, stop by an American Home Fitness Store today.

To get the most out of the time you spend treadmill walking , avoid these common mistakes. Proper walking form and posture are important in preventing pain and strain. These tips will help you walk smoother and faster, burn more calories, and get the full benefits of moderate-intensity cardio workouts for health and fitness. The first mistake is getting on a treadmill while the belt is moving at full speed.
Instead, follow these steps every time you use the treadmill. This may seem like unnecessary advice, but many treadmill users are injured when the belt starts moving at a high speed unexpectedly. You may want the assurance of holding onto the handrails for stability, but that is not a natural way to walk or run. You can't use good walking posture or move naturally using a good stride and arm motion if you are holding onto the handrails.
Learn to let go of the handrails , even if it means walking or running at a slower pace for a few sessions. You will get a better workout at a slower pace than you would at a faster pace holding on.
Continue to use the handrails if you have a significant disability or balance issue. But consult with a trainer or physical therapist for advice on how to achieve good walking posture even if you need to use the handrails. Good walking posture is with the head up and eyes forward.
If you need entertainment when on the treadmill, position your video or reading material so you are looking straight ahead at it, not down or up. Bad walking posture on the treadmill can lead to low back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain. It doesn't allow you to take full, complete breaths. It also reinforces the bad sitting posture that many people develop from hours in front of the computer or television. Every few minutes throughout your workout, give your shoulders a backward roll to check that you aren't hunching them forward.
Proper walking posture is upright, not leaning forward or backward. To get into the correct walking posture, take a moment before you step onto the treadmill to check your posture.
When you overstride , your front heel hits the ground far in front of your body. Many people do this in an attempt to walk faster. An overstride is also likely to result in your foot hitting the front of the treadmill which can cause you to trip or fall.
A good, fast walking stride is just the opposite. Your front heel strikes close to your body while your back foot remains on the ground longer to give a powerful push-off. This push-off in the back is what will give your walking more speed and power, and it will work your muscles better to burn calories. At first, you may need to shorten your stride and just take shorter steps. Then start concentrating on feeling your back foot and getting a good push off with it with each step.
Focus on this for a few minutes each treadmill session until it becomes more familiar.
