This will also allow the motor to start up and adjust to your chosen speed without being hindered by your body weight. If you are positioned too close to the rear of the treadmill, you risk falling off, whereas walking or running too close to the front of the treadmill may cause you to step or trip on the motor cover. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/63\/Use-a-Treadmill-Safely-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\/v4-459px-Use-a-Treadmill-Safely-Step-10Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/63\/Use-a-Treadmill-Safely-Step-10Bullet1.jpg\/aid1623855-v4-728px-Use-a-Treadmill-Safely-Step-10Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":306,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"485","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

Summary: Wear proper athletic shoes that are secured to your feet instead of casual shoes such as flip-flops or high heels to prevent injuries. Place each of your feet outside of the rotating belt when you start the treadmill. Slow your pace down gradually before you stop the treadmill completely to prevent yourself from falling. Pause or turn off your treadmill completely if you need to step away for a brief moment to prevent animals, children, or other family members from getting hurt while you are away. Walk or run consistently in the center of the rotating belt. Push the "Stop" button to immediately decrease the speed of and stop the treadmill if an emergency occurs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You probably want the conversation to accomplish one of these things or a combination of a few: Have your parents listen and understand what you're saying without passing any judgement or offering any commentary. Have your parents support or receive their permission to do something. Give you advice or aide. Provide you with some guidance especially if you're in trouble. To be fair and not put you down. This may be difficult especially if you need to talk about sex or open up in a way that you never had before. It's natural to feel awkward or anxious when talking about difficult topics with your parents. Recognize what you are feeling and let your parents know so you can unburden yourself. For example, if you're worried that your parents will be disappointed then let them know immediately. Say something like, "Mom, I know that you had talked about this before and you'll be disappointed at what I'm about to say but I know that you'll listen to everything and give me what I'm looking for." If your parents are particularly emotional and you expect a very harsh or unsupportive response, let them know that you have taken this into consideration yet have gathered the courage to still approach. Be proactive and diffuse the situation with positivity. "Dad, I know how mad this is going to make you but it's important to me that I tell you because I know that you love and respect and only get mad because you want the best for me." If your parents are already having a bad day, they may be even more prone to give you a negative response. Unless it is an emergency, wait for an appropriate time to approach your parents. Wait till you feel their mood is receptive and their day is relatively stress free. For example, ask "May we talk or is now not a good time?" Going for a long drive or being out on a walk can be the perfect time; however, if you never find these opportunities you can simply make a good time. Make sure you know what you want to say ahead of time or write down key points to ensure that you don't missing anything. You don't want to get off guard and have your parents initiate a conversation that you aren't ready for.
Summary:
Anticipate the outcome. Identify how you are feeling. Pick the right time to talk to them.
