There’s a reason why treadmills are an iconic piece of gym equipment, especially for the home. They offer a fun, effective and accessible aerobic workout that delivers impressive results. Their popularity also means there is a wide range to choose from, meaning there’s bound to be an option so suit your specific needs, and will fit within your home fitness space.
Running on a treadmill has many health and fitness benefits beyond just getting your heart pumping. This type of exercise is a fantastic way to boost cardiovascular health, accelerate weight loss and maintain muscle mass. Treadmill exercises are also shown to improve mental health, and you may have heard of ‘runner’s high’, a result of the release of endorphins triggered by aerobic activity.
One of the biggest advantages is how easy they are to use. Almost everybody can jump on a treadmill with very little preamble and get going. While proper running form is important, the technique won’t be as complex as many other exercise machines.
Treadmill exercises can be tailored to your workout needs. They’re effective in shorter increments, such as a quick warmup, or for more extended workouts. This gives treadmills the unique property of being appropriate to both complete beginners and hardcore trainers, especially marathon runners.
