is walking on a treadmill good exercise?
Walking regularly on a treadmill helps you maintain a healthy musculoskeletal system, which includes your muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and joints. As a weight-bearing exercise, treadmill walking exerts a pulling force on your bones that helps prevent age-related bone loss. Walking also tones the muscles of your legs and buttocks. Adjusting the treadmill to an incline position improves the toning effect on your legs.
