How to do it
- Step onto the side rails and start the machine at a slow walking pace.
- Grab the handrails briefly to step onto the moving belt safely.
- Release the rails and begin walking or running with an upright posture.
- Adjust the speed or incline gradually to reach your target intensity.
- Slow the belt down to a walk before stepping off onto the side rails.
Common mistakes
- Holding the handrails while running, which reduces calorie burn.
- Taking strides that are too long, causing excessive braking force.
- Looking down at the console, leading to poor neck alignment.
Safety
Always clip the safety key to your clothing to stop the belt if you fall.
Tips
- Look forward at the horizon rather than down at your feet.
- Land softly on your mid-foot to reduce impact on your joints.
- Swing your arms naturally in rhythm with your leg stride.
