Benefits of a treadmill workout

The treadmill can be a great option for beginners who are looking to start exercising – here are just a few highlights:

• Comfortable environment:  Because it’s done indoors, you don’t have to worry about the elements of outdoor workouts – like a sweltering hot summer day or a snowy winter day.  The controlled environment can be more comfortable for many people.
• Preferred location:  Similarly, a treadmill can be used in either a gym or in your home, which offers the ability to workout in your preferred environment.  Some people love being around others and enjoy a treadmill in the gym where they can enjoy the company of fellow fit friends.  Others prefer working out solo, and a treadmill in the home can be a convenient way of doing so.
• Control speed and incline:  Exercising on a treadmill also gives you the ability to control speed and incline.  While we certainly can control our own speed outdoors, we don’t have the ability to alter the terrain around us.  If you live in a pancake flat area, the incline on a treadmill offers you the ability to walk or run “hills”.
• Health benefits:  And of course, like all exercise, treadmill workouts provide numerous health benefits.  Cardiovascular exercise like walking or running cause the heart to pump faster, helping strengthen the heart.  Exercise also burns calories and can help with any weight maintenance goals (if that’s a priority for you).  Lastly, exercise can improve mental health by relieving stress.
