The basic treadmill workout plan. What is it? How is it done? How do I start? When will I see results?
I’ve heard many people say they love running on the treadmill on the gym because it’s exhilarating to run, and many more simply love the way it makes them feel. Running or jogging at a steady, even pace can and does have a meditative and relaxing effective on most people.
I suppose that’s why so many people love using the treadmill at the gym. Personally, I hate the treadmill, but that’s me, I’d rather lift weights.

The Basic Treadmill Workout:
Overview:
To burn fat and build massive cardiovascular strength.
Execution:
Set the treadmill at a comfortable level (Plateau or Flat setting on the treadmill), and maintain a constant speed for the duration of your exercise. The level should be set to one which you can maintain a medium pace for at least 1 hour. You should be sweating, but not straining. A nice jogging pace is perfect.
Duration:
45-60 minutes
Treadmill Workout Schedule:
One day on. One day off. Repeat.
Progression:
To burn more calories, lose more fat, and more cardiovascular strength either slowly increase the speed or increase the incline of the treadmill every workout. If you run outside or do cross country running, simply speed up your pace or change your route to include more hills in order to increase the intensity of your workout.
