Never go on the treadmill because you hate running?


Are you just not the running person? Do you avoid using the Treadmill because you just dont want to run?

Well I say, Give it another chance, but don't run....Walk!

Try:

ºGo on for about 20-30 mins (maybe 10 on your first time, don't over do it)
ºSet your speed at a good steady pace that will be easy or medium for your body.
ºPut your incline up high, anything over 10.0 will do you good.
ºWalk, put in your music...really get into it

When you have a higher incline, it seems easier than running, but you burn tons of calories. You might even burn the same amount that you would have running!!!

If you end up liking this, I suggest trying out a light jog at the end of your session, during the cool down.

To Do This You:

ºFinish your time on the treadmill and continue into cool down.
ºLower your incline completely
ºSet your speed to a nice jogging pace for about a minute
ºContinue to cool down

When you lower the incline completely you'll feel like your floating. It's a great feeling, I love to do this, running then is incredibly easy:)

If you still hate the treadmill, I suggest the elliptical machine:)
