The overall hope of any exercise program is that you will tone up
your body and reach a high level of fitness. For many people there is
also the hope that you can lose weight in the process.
There are only 3 ways that you can expect to lose weight.
Reduce the number of calories you consume
Expend more calories than you consume
A combination of both through diet and exercise.
Working out on a treadmill is one of the best ways to exercise and burn calories, which will result in weight loss.
If you walk on a treadmill at a slow pace for 30 minutes you can burn about 150 calories. If you workout 4 times a week, that would amount to about 31,000 calories burned. Since a pound of fat contains 3,500 calories, in a year you should lose 9 or 10 pounds, and that's with only 2 hours of exercise a week.
The settings you have available on a treadmill will give you an almost unlimited number of exercise variations that you can use in your workouts. You can adjust the speed faster or slower, the incline can be adjusted up to equal a very steep hill and you can set the machine to vary both of these settings automatically.
If you walk at an average pace of about 2 mph you can expect to lose around 110 calories if you weigh 200 lbs. Running or walking at 5 mph can up the calorie burn to about 150.
As you can see, the longer the distance or the faster the speed, the greater the number of calories that will be burned.
It doesn't matter what category of walker you are, beginner or advanced, you can still lose weight by walking on a treadmill.
As a beginner you should strive to walk longer until your legs are stronger. Even if you don't increase your speed, by extending your distance you will gain more muscle, burn fat and lose weight.
If you are an advanced walker, try increasing your incline on the machine and then increase your distance. The greater incline will give you a fantastic cardiovascular benefit and the longer distance will burn more fat and calories.
As you develop and strengthen your muscles you will continue to lose weight long after your workout. Your basal metabolic rate will have increased and your body will continue the calorie burning, resulting in more weight loss.
Adjusting your treadmill to do interval training will increase your health benefits even more. Interval training involves changing speeds by alternating faster than slower numerous times, changing inclines from level to higher then down to mid range and all points in between. This constant change of speed and incline will give you a fantastic work out that will develop muscles, increase lung capacity and strengthen your heart.
You don't have to be a super athlete to use a treadmill for greater health benefits. It doesn't matter if you are a real couch potato or a triathlon competitor, there are workout routines for you that can be done on a treadmill. You can burn more calories and fat to help you lose weight. Your heart and lungs can develop and increase their capacity to function, which will give you better health and a much better outlook on life.
One of the best benefits about working out on a treadmill is that you can do it in the safety and comfort of your own home. No more running out to a gym or trying to walk when the weather is bad and you never have to worry about who may be lurking, out there, as you walk.
