Safely Running on Your Treadmill

By Chet Sandeksi


Being well into the year, there are many people that have discarded their New Year's resolutions. If you have lost sight of your resolution to be healthier, it may be time to revisit and revive your goal.

When you are not able to run outside, you will want to find a way that you can run indoors to ensure that you are getting your miles in every week. While you are looking to get your miles in every week, start by looking for treadmills that you can run on.

If you do not have a gym membership and you do not have access to a treadmill, you may want to purchase a treadmill that you can run on in your home. Creating an area in your home that you can run in may totally change the way that you train.

The elliptical trainer machine, or simply the elliptical, is the ideal cardio training machine for those persons who are otherwise unable to perform cardio workouts due to failing or hurt joints and knees as the elliptical is a low impact machine that will not further damage the knees.

Create a playlist that is motivating and that is going to help you focus on something other than the treadmill that you are running on. With the right music in your ears, you may be able to lose yourself in your thoughts and the music throughout your run.

While you are looking through the prices and the options that you have, you may want to consider a payment plan. Sometimes, this can be the best way to get a treadmill that you know you are going to be able to use for many years to come.

Instead of misusing or improperly using the elliptical to gain a harder or more effective workout, simply use the machine's built in versatilities. Almost every elliptical will have the ability to increase the workout work load by upping the resistance, changing the speed, or raising the incline of the pedaling.

After you have your treadmill delivered, be sure to set it up properly. The set up process can be difficult with a treadmill and you want to make sure that you are setting up the treadmill properly so you can be sure that you do not void any warrantee.

As you get used to running in your home, you may need to make adjustments to make your runs more comfortable. Including more fans or even putting a TV near your treadmill may help you make it through the runs that you have scheduled for your training.

This practice will also enable the exerciser to keep up an effective fluid motion while working out on the machine. In addition to keeping the knees slightly bent at all times to enable the machine to work best for its user, it is also important to remember that while an elliptical is designed to maintain the proper posture of the user during an exercise, slouching or slumping while exercising on this machine is still detrimental.

Meeting with a knee replacement doctor may be avoided if you stretch properly, listen to your body, let your body recover from long runs properly and use the right equipment as you are running. Don't be afraid to talk with a professional about how to care for your joints to ensure that you can keep on running.

Going to a knee replacement doctor because of running is not uncommon. Make sure that you are taking the precautions that you need to take to ensure that your body is healthy and your joints are well taken care of while you are running.
