Description

Walking on a moving belt, the gentlest way to raise your heart rate and build stamina, whatever the weather.

Instructions

Clip the safety key to your clothes and start slow. Walk at the pace your coach set. Easy means you can chat freely, and brisk means you can talk in short sentences but not sing. Raise the speed or the incline to reach the heart rate your coach asked for.

Tips

Look ahead, not down at your feet. Touch the rails only for balance, not to lean on.

Primary Muscles
Calves

The muscles on the back of your lower leg. They point your foot and lift your heels, pushing you off the ground every time you step, jump or climb stairs.

Glutes

Your largest muscle, forming most of your buttocks. It drives your hips forward to stand up, climb stairs, run and jump, and it takes strain off your lower back when you lift.

Hamstrings

The three muscles on the back of your thigh. They bend your knee and swing your leg back, teaming up with your glutes when you sprint, jump or lift something off the floor.

Quads

The four muscles on the front of your thigh. They straighten your knee and power squats, stairs, getting out of a chair and every step you take.

Equipment
Treadmill

A motorized moving belt for walking, jogging or running in place, usually with adjustable incline.

Type
