Tips for Running on a Treadmill
As I always say, form is the key to getting the maximum benefit out of any workout. Even when running on a treadmill, there are a few things you have to remember.
- Head up
- Chest up and shoulders back, no slouching
- Keep your core engaged to hold yourself upright and help your legs
- Pull your knees up instead of focusing taking steps
- Use your whole foot instead of just the inside or outside
A proper stance will give you more endurance and will lessen the impact on your joints.
also, to help avoid shin splints, raise the grade a smidge, to like, a 1.5 or 2.0 incline, depending on the treadmill.
