Treadmill Workouts To Spice Up Your Workout
By Robin OBrien
There's no disputing the cardiovascular and calorie burning benefits of treadmills but many find them very monotonous to use and soon stop working out. But, by varying your workout program you can avoid the tedium and rediscover the enjoyment of working out on one.
The number one reason people buy a treadmill is to lose weight. And the number one reason people stop using them is through boredom. Even serious runners can find themselves unable to cope with the tedium of running indoors on them.
There is an ever increasing market for used treadmills; all born out of user boredom. But it doesn't have to be like that. By simply varying your workouts, you can easily avoid being bored. By varying your workouts, not only do you avoid boredom, you'll work on muscles that aren't usually given a good workout.
Dumbbells and Hand Weights
Treadmills aren't just for legs; you can also use your workout to strengthen your arms. Why not try raising and lowering five to ten pound hand weights as you walk? If you're a 'bar gripper' you should start slowly so that you don't fall or trip. Once you get some confidence you can speed up this particular workout. At the end of a vigorous walk, you'll have given your upper and lower body a good workout.
Ever tried walking backwards?
If you've never done this before you should definitely start off at a slow pace. By walking backwards you'll be exercising different muscles. Walking backwards also helps with your overall sense of balance - this workout will definitely focus your mind. After this workout, you are guaranteed to develop aches in muscles that you never knew you had.
Speed Bursts
Before trying this you should do some stretching. You can do this exercise even if you never run. Just run or walk as fast as you can for one minute. Then, slow right down to a pace that is comfortable for you and take a two minute breather. Then run or walk for another minute as fast as you can. Repeat this at least 5 times. This is an excellent example of a good aerobic treadmill workout.
Incline Intervals
Again, this is another good workout and should be done after you've done some stretch exercises. It can be both for runner and walkers. Walk or run as normal, then set the incline of your treadmill to four or five. Walk or run on this setting for about 5 minutes. Go back to 0 incline and walk for 5 minutes. Repeat this cycle several times.
Toes and Heels
Start by using the treadmill as you normally would. After a minute or two, slow down your speed and walk on tiptoe for thirty seconds. Resume your normal walk or run for another five minutes, then slow down again and walk on your heels for thirty seconds. Repeat this cycle twice to exercise different muscles in your legs and feet.
A good workout program will exercise ever muscle in your body. All of the above are great for either a walking treadmill workout or a running treadmill workout. Don't stop using yours through boredom; the secret of overcoming boredom is to vary your workout.
