Treadmill Tip: Adjust the Grade
To keep things exciting on a treadmill, you have to mix it up, and one way to do so is to play with the incline. For folks with troublesome ankles and knees, going faster can make cranky joints even crankier. By adjusting the grade you can increase the difficulty of your workout without compromising the joints of your lower legs.
Virtual Active Video Treadmill Is Cool!
I have never been one to watch TV while working out. I use exercise to escape my reality, not read the ticker on CNN. When the guys at Virtual Active asked me if I wanted to take a virtual hike through Lake Tahoe on their Matrix treadmill, however, I said yes without hesitation.
Gym Dilemma: Dealing With a Treadmill Hog
I try to avoid going to the gym during peak hours because of the long waits and time restrictions on the cardio equipment, but some days I can only manage to hit the gym during prime time. While it's tough to adhere to the 30-minute gym-imposed time limit on the treadmill, if there's a long line of people waiting (and there usually is), I play by the rules. But, of course, there's one woman who does not get off the treadmill for at least an hour — more often 90 minutes — no matter how long the wait.
Fitness Download of the Day: Treadmill Workouts
This week's Get Fit For 2010 challenge is all about inspiring you to move. Since the weather is too chilly for most people to enjoy a run outside, many of you are turning to the treadmill. To beat boredom and burn major calories, I developed four different treadmill workouts: Beginner, Intermediate Intervals, Running Hills, and Sprint Intervals.
The 500-Calorie-Burning Treadmill Workout
This is the year — 2010 is all about getting fit. Though some of you have big weight loss goals, others have just a few pesky pounds left to burn off. Those can be the hardest to get rid of, and sometimes eating healthy and exercising daily just doesn't do the trick.
You Asked: My Feet Go Numb on the Treadmill
Hey Fit,
I started my New Year's resolution a little early by joining a gym a few weeks ago. I've been using the treadmill, jogging for 30 minutes, but about 15 minutes or so into my run, my feet start to go numb. I'm not cold, so what's up with that, and how can I prevent this annoying sensation?
Cardio Workout: Beginner Treadmill
Are you returning to running in 2010? Did you vow to start running as a healthy resolution? I created a beginner treadmill workout to help get you started.
Help, I'm Afraid of the Treadmill
FitSugar reader ccath posted this question in our RunningSugar community group.
I'm planning on joining my college gym really soon. I've been doing lots of push-ups — sometimes I do 500 in a day, not exaggerating — but I still feel fat.
Do You Always Use the Same Machine at the Gym?
I think it's a no brainer that the treadmill and elliptical are the most popular machines at the gym. They are usually more treadmills and ellipticals than other machines and they're the only ones I ever see people waiting in line for. I'll even admit that I have a tendency to always book it to the treadmill.
Beat Boredom on Your Next Fitness Walk
If you have knee pain, asthma, or just don't like running, walking for exercise is an excellent option. It's free, you can do it anywhere, and since it's low impact, you're less likely to injure yourself with this form of exercise. The only problem is that it can be very boring, so here are some ways to pep up your walks.
