Whenrunning on a treadmill, the body draws energy from carbohydrates provided in
meals during the day (stored in the muscles as glycogen) and from fats.
It
is assumed that during the first 30 minutes of training, carbohydrates and fats
are burned in a ratio of 8: 2. After about 30 minutes, the proportions are
reversed and the body draws energy in 80% from fat tissue and in 20% from
carbohydrates.
For this reason, the optimal time to exercise on the
treadmill is about 45 minutes if the condition allows, it is worth extending
the training by a few or several minutes.
Treadmill
training is most often done in the afternoon or evening because most of us
simply don't have time for morning training. It is better to train in the
morning - metabolic processes take place more quickly in a rested body. Of
course, the most important thing is regularity, if it is strictly observed,
evening workouts will give excellent results in slimming.
How do you exercise on the treadmill?
Treadmill
training requires an appropriate technique and compliance with several rules:
- Always warm-up before training,
and at the end do some stretching exercises
- Standing on the frame of the
running belt, turn on the treadmill, set the lowest speed of the belt and
only then get on the running belt
- Run in the middle of the belt
to give yourself the most training space and the best cushioning thanks to
the treadmill systems
- Keep your figure straight,
don't look under your feet when running
- While running, do not hold the
handles and handrails - use them only when climbing on and off the belt,
changing settings on the console and checking the pulse on the touch
sensors
- Do not read while running, the
best variety to training is listening to rhythmic music. Count how many
steps per minute you do on the treadmill (on average 150-160 steps are
performed), try to do about 180-190 steps per minute to burn calories
faster
