Using your treadmill at home is a great way to build up your endurance and improve your overall strength, but a lot of people who use treadmills are not using them to their fullest potential.

And if you have invested into your own treadmill, you definitely want to be taking advantage of it to get into the best shape possible, rather than letting it sit around and only using it for the most basic exercises when it actually is turned on.<\/p>\n

To learn more about how you can effectively transform your boring treadmill workout into one that will quickly build up your endurance, continue reading. The easy exercise tips below can be implemented into just about any routine, and people of all fitness levels can take advantage of them in order to get in shape and see results fast.<\/p>\n

Take Advantage of a Treadmill with an Incline Feature<\/b><\/h2>\n

High quality treadmills on the market today feature inclines that are easy to include in your workout. You can start off slow and on level ground and then build up your speed and your incline as you go so that you can effectively challenge your body and make it work harder the longer you are on the machine.<\/p>\n

Using the incline feature on your treadmill will not only boost your endurance, it will also allow your muscles to grow stronger and it will allow you to burn of more calories as well, which is very important if your goal is to lose weight or maintain your current weight.<\/p>\n

Start by warming up the body by walking at around 3 mph for about 2 minutes. After these first two minutes, it is time to slightly increase the speed so that your body gets used to having to work harder without overdoing it right away, which can lead to injury. Try not to increase the speed too much. When you use an incline, you can simply walk, especially if you are not very physically fit yet because you are just starting out on an exercise schedule.<\/p>\n

Build the incline slowly after a couple of minutes and, once you reach the middle of your workout, you can then begin reducing the incline again by the same increments and within the same time frame. This will allow your body to feel the burn as you have to push your way through the toughest part of the incline. And then your body will slowly ease itself back down to level ground. Follow this up with a 2-minute cool down at a regular walking pace.<\/p>\n

Remember, you can walk through this whole exercise until you are strong and fit enough to jog through it. It is all about using the muscles of your lower body until you have built up more endurance before pushing yourself with speed.<\/p>\n
