Treadmill

How to do it

Straddle the belt with feet on the side rails, then start the belt at an easy walking pace before stepping onto it.
Stand tall with a slight forward lean from the ankles, keeping the hands light on the rails for balance only.
Build the speed gradually to the target pace, driving off the balls of the feet to load the calves and quadriceps with each stride.
Keep the cadence quick and light rather than overstriding with the heel far out in front of the body.
Hold the target effort level steady, breathing in a controlled rhythm through the working portion.
Lower the speed gradually over the final few minutes to cool down instead of stopping the belt abruptly.
