Howto LoseWeighton the Treadmill



ANNA URSU APRIL 19, 2011 RUNNING & CARDIO 33 COMMENTS

Treadmills are the right choice for those who want to lose weight. It may appear to be a clich you can find in running books or dedicated articles, but its true, as long as you know all the details. Before I explain how treadmills can help you in this uest, I must tell you about the target heart rate and fat burning !one. The target heart rate e uals "#$ % &#$ of your maximum heart rate. 'nd your fat burning !one e ual ()$ % &#$ of your target heart rate !one. The rule is simple* if you want to lose weight by running, than you must be sure that while you exercise, your heart rate is in your fat burning !one +for minimum ,# minutes-. If you want to calculate by yourself the .alue of the target heart rate, you /ust need to know your maximum heart rate, which is based on these general formulas* 0aximum 1eart 2ate for men 3 44# 5 age 0aximum 1eart 2ate for women 3 44" 5 age

6r you can know your maximum heart rate and your target heart rate after you consult your physician. 6r you can buy a treadmill that allows you to insert your age and weight in the console, so it calculates your target heart rate and your fat burning !one by itself. I will get to what treadmills can do that later. 0onitoring all these details can be difficult to do while you run outside. That is why .ery often people say* I run daily but I dont see any difference. 7hat am I doing wrong8 1ere is when running on treadmills can be really helpful, and extremely efficient. 's I said abo.e, there are treadmills that monitor your target heart rate and your fat burning !one while you workout. These are the treadmills that allow you to insert your age and weight in the console before you start exercising. 0ore than that, these treadmills change automatically speed and incline of the treadmill so you remain in this !one without any additional hassle. 'll you ha.e to do is ha.e a heart rate reading connected +a wireless chest strap is the most recommended- and run, run, run. If you are a beginner, you must focus first on building endurance and aerobic fitness. 'fter ,59 weeks of training, you should be ready to raise the intensity le.el and do treadmill weight loss workouts efficiently.

The abo.e workouts are examples of possible settings you can apply to your treadmill so that you follow the running weight loss formula. But each body is different. <o feel free to change incline and speed according to your preferences and your bodys demands. Aor example, if you dont like running fast, you can use higher incline. The le.el of effort is the same and you still lose weight as long as you are in your fat burning !one. I promised I would tell you what treadmills ha.e the target heart rate system calculations included in the console. I personally like <chwinn Treadmills and Bi.estrong Treadmills. They come with a decent price, good warranty, strong components and efficient weight loss workouts.
