Instructions for Proper Form
Setup:
- Safety First: Attach the safety clip to your clothing.
- Warm-up: Straddle the belt and select a manual or pre-set program. Start the treadmill at a slow walking speed (e.g., 2-3 mph or 3-5 km/h).
- Begin Walking: Carefully step onto the moving belt and begin walking to warm up for 3-5 minutes.
The Run:
- Increase Speed: Gradually increase the speed to your desired running pace.
- Form: Maintain an upright posture with your head up, shoulders back and relaxed. Keep your hands loose and swing your arms forward and back, not across your body.
- Breathing: Breathe deeply and rhythmically.
Cool-down:
- Reduce Speed: Gradually decrease the speed to a walking pace for 3-5 minutes to allow your heart rate to come down.
- Stop: Once your cool-down is complete, press the stop button and wait for the belt to come to a complete halt before stepping off.
