HOW TO USE A TREADMILL CORRECTLY
Step1
Familiarize your treadmill you will be using.
It’s very important to read safety instructions and electrical information and operation instructions before use a treadmill.
Step 2
Stretch before stepping onto the treadmill.
Begin with gradual mobility exercises of all the joints, i.e. simply rotate the wrists, bend the arm and roll your shoulders. This will allow the body’s natural lubrication (synovial fluid) to protect the surface of the bones at these joints.
Always warm up the body before stretching, as this increases blood flow around the body, which in turn makes the muscles more supple.
Start with your legs, and work up the body.
Each stretch should be held for at least 10 seconds (working up to 20 to 30 seconds) and usually repeated about 2 or 3 times.
Do not stretch until it hurts. If there’s any pain, ease off.
Don’t bounce. Stretching should be gradual and relaxed.
Don’t hold your breath during a stretch.
