VARIATIONS
Treadmill Walking
Walking occurs on a moving motorized belt
This low-impact cardio movement primarily targets the quadriceps while engaging the glutes, hamstrings, and calves. It builds aerobic endurance and leg strength with minimal joint stress.
HOW TO DO IT
- Step onto the side rails and straddle the moving belt.
- Select a manual mode or choose a preset program.
- Start the belt at a slow walking speed.
- Step onto the belt and establish a steady rhythm.
- Swing your arms naturally while keeping your torso upright.
- Press the stop button and step off when finished.
COMMON MISTAKES
- Gripping the handrails too tightly.
- Leaning forward or backward excessively.
- Taking strides that are too long.
- Looking down at the console constantly.
TIPS
- Look forward rather than down at your feet.
- Land softly on your heel and roll through to the toe.
- Engage your core to prevent leaning on the handrails.
SAFETY
- Always step onto the side rails before starting the belt to prevent falling.
