Right way to walk the treadmill


  1. Hydrate yourself well before, during and after the walk.
  2. Go slow for the first five minutes.Build up the pace for the next 5 minutes nad maintain over a brisk 30 to 45 minutes.
  3. Stand in the middle of the walking surface so that you do not slip.
  4. Always place the heel first and let hte foot roll through before pushing off to take the next step.
  5. Do not hold the side rail or the front bar for support. It reduces the intensity of exercise and you burn less calories. It also puts undue stress on the arms and shoulders and throws the spine and hip out of their natural position.
