Treadmill jogging for dummies?
359512
for me, jogging begins at 4 mph.\n\nwhen walking, both feet remain in contact with the running surface.\n\njogging on the balls of your feet is better for you.  Also, let your feet touch the surface under your body, not in front of you.\n\nAlso, strike the ground quickly and allow your heal to raise up high towards your butt.\n\nFinally, rather than twist and turn, hold you head up high and keep you shoulders level with the running surface.\n\nI like jogging while watching the morning/evening news on tv.

nobody can give you the right answer unless you have given them your body weight, height, and the intensity level at which you jog (as determined by the heart rate you maintain for that half hour)...\n\nall other answers would be a guess and might not even be close for your estimates...\n\ngood luck

If you walk on a treadmil with digital read outs you will notice that the faster you walk the more calories you burn. Walking is a very effective exercise, and if you want to use it to your best advantage you should walk as fast as you can just below your jogging speed, and do so for atleast 30 minutes per day. By raising your heart rate and burning the calories you will see pounds melt away. Make sure to drink plenty of water to flush out all the bad toxins. For every step I take is towards better health and fitness. Each person must set thier own tolerance , but walking as fast as you can for as long as you can works best, If walking has not been a habit , you will need to set realistic goals, lets say your first week you walk as fast as you can for 1/2 mile, next week try to add distance to it until you have worked up to a distance and pace that is right for you. Hope this helps you out, Happy Trails.

Alternating is a great way to go. You walk for one minute, and jog for one minute, then walk for one minute, and run for one minute.\n\nAt first you may need to build up so, try walking for three minutes, and running for 45 seconds, brining the times closer until you can do one for one minute, and the next for one minute. Then, build to two minutes, and so on.

Start with a combination of running and walking in the beginning.  A good program for this is the "couch to 5K" plan:  http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml\n\nBy the way, you can get a very good workout on the elliptical.  Just keep the intensity up and you can burn almost as many calories as running.  It might be worth trying if you really prefer the elliptical.

I like the 'step mill' I have a Gazelle which works on the same principle. I prefer it over the standard treadmill. It defines a whole group of muscles that the tread mill doesn't. If you do certain things with your arms, like lifting your body,(if it has the poles)  you exercise the muscles in your arms and you tone those jiggly tummy muscles. If you don't have the poles on it just use hand weights when you are more steady.This far, I have lost 10 lbs. in two weeks. I also like it because it is a bit more accommodating than walking. It doesn't matter that it is raining or snowing, I can still do my workout. It has an advantage because there is no impact to affect the spine or other joints.

You need to ice it. Do not use heat, this will make it worse. I won;t tell you to give up, but please make sure you are wearing proper running shoes, fitted by a running store, not a Foot Locker type place, you may want to start out on the treadmill slowly. and work in some walk breaks. You may be trying to run too fast, too soon.

I'm training right now and I rotate between outside and the treadmill (treadmill is easier on the knees).  Remember to strech.  Get fitted with a good pair of running shoes from a running store that actually examines your stride.  And get running socks.  If you are running distance go with marathon socks.

Everyone is different.  You will have to know how to breath correctly as well.  Try to do most of your exercising outdoors.\n\n  I did a lot of mine on the treadmill 4-8 miles at one time and when I went out doors to exercise, I thought that I would die and I had not even jogged 1 mile.\n\nWithin  a couple of weeks I was jogging in the heat for 6 miles at a time.  Stick with it, it will come.

The treadmill is a high impact exercise machine--it places high stress on you lower body when running or walking. I would highly recommend an elliptical--it's low impact on the knees and joints and you can still get an excellent cardiovasulcar workout. Our website has a few recommended ellipticals at www.engineeringfitness.com under "Holiday Gift Ideas".

What I do is about one hour on the treadmill, as fast as I can go (with a bit of an incline) to get me sweating and my heart rate up and then I get off of there and go to the leg and arm machines (lol, sorry for the lack of technical terms) and work out there for about 30 mins and then I get back on the treadmill and work out for another 30 mins (this burns more calories when you stop and start back again). I hope this helps and good luck with your exercise routine!! :)

It is quite simple Jenna. Just jog 1 mile 3 times times a week, eat healthy, and do Yoga. It worked tremendously for a very good friend of mine and i am sure it will work for you. Good Luck

I do not like the running machines at all but I am a huge fan of the elipitical. They both are great for cardio and you should use the machine that you like best because that way you will enjoy going to the gym. You can do various workouts on the cross trainer that you cant do on the running machine and these can give you an awesome cardio workout to burn that fat!

Begin with an 800 meter jog to get warm...follow this with some streching for about 20 minutes....then do some barefooted sprints in the grass(this will condition muscles in the foot that are not normaly used when wearing shoes)by running 100 meters then walking back...do this at about 7/8 speed and concentrate on your length of stride...about 10 should do....Next go to the bleachers and do 15 minutes of bleacher hops/runs...alternate between hopping and running the bleachers....for a cool down go do some block work....practice perfecting your reaction time in the blocks...work on control, height, and stride....Next finish with a series of run/walk 600s....about 4 should do nicely....it is always best to train slightly above your race distance...cool down by walking long stride a half mile////weight training is a seprate issue and should be done  about 6 hours appart from running workout....last....take a shower...you probably stink

A good website for treadmill recommendations in various price ranges is http://www.treadmilldoctor.com  If you are not sure what your price range is, there is a questionnaire on that website about how you intend to use the treadmill to help you determine the appropriate price range.  For instance, a 150 pound person who intends to walk for 20 minutes 3 times per week doesn't need the same thing in a treadmill as a couple who both intend to run 2 hours daily on a treadmill.
