There are almost countless health benefits to regular exercise, such as strengthening heart strength, reducing weight and lowering insulin level. For everyone, walking or running on the running exercise machine is an excellent source of exercise. Exercising on a treadmill can not only bring you many health benefits, but also help you burn a lot of calories to keep you slim. But we all know that the key to an effective workout on the running exercise machine is regular repetition. Only through frequent workouts will you see positive effects on your health. Perhaps you know what speed you like to run or walk on your running exercise machine, but you definitely want to know how often you should use it to stay in good health. Please continue reading, and I will explain it to you in detail in three aspects in the following article.
Designing a schedule adapted to your rhythm
To stay healthy, you need to get at least some exercise every day. How much, and what kind, really depends on your age and physical state. France’s National Institute for Prevention and Health Education (INPES) recommends a minimum of 30 minutes of brisk walking every day.
Depending on your lifestyle and level of activity, you’re already meeting all or part of this goal just by going about your daily life. But if you sit down a lot during the workday for example, using a motorized treadmill is a good way to achieve the recommended daily minimum. You can definitely go beyond that, though: your running exercise machine will help you to do so much more, crossing over from mere “physical activity” to genuine sport. You’ll then see multiple beneficial effects on your health such as improved endurance, stronger bones and joints, reduced risk of cardiovascular problems, less chance of developing certain types of cancer, fewer eating disorders. And when you’re running or doing other cardio-based physical activity, you can even experience improvement in your mood and reduce your likelihood of developing psychological disorders such as depression.
Ideally, work out every day
To take full advantage your running machine, you need to do more than 30 minutes of daily exercise on it, but not necessarily a lot more. Research shows that excessive exercise is not desirable. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to exercise on the running exercise machine as long and as frequently. But whatever you do, the most important thing is that you do it regularly. Working out sporadically has no positive effect on your body in the long run, no matter how good it might make you feel in the moment. So what is the ideal approach? Set up a weekly routine, and stick to it. Using your running exercise machine for running 3-4 times a week is a good rhythm. Make sure you take a day or two off, and limit yourself to 5 sessions a week. But remember also that setting a goal for yourself is pretty simple. Honoring your commitment and staying motivated over the long run are usually harder to accomplish.
Staying motivated over the long haul
Beginners often find running monotonous and boring. But as you get used to it, you’ll find you will enjoy running more and more. Soon, you’ll be champing at the bit in anticipation of your next session instead of dreading it! Before you see real progress, though, you need to get yourself moving. Do this by setting a schedule that won’t get in the way of your other obligations. Use your treadmill and start with relatively short sessions at proper intervals, allowing your body to get used to the routine without feeling too fatigued. Then, challenge yourself: be ambitious but realistic. For example, try to complete a specific distance, and write down the time it takes you.
Here’s an effective tip: keep a running journal, noting every day what you did, and how you performed. This not only helps you to see the positive health effects of your running training sessions, but also to keep a regular rhythm. Soon, you’ll find you don’t want to miss a workout and face an empty page in your journal with nothing to write about. Use your motorized treadmill and stay motivated over the long haul to better stay in good health.
All in all, ideally you should use your treadmill every day in order to better stay in good health. But remember to always listen to your body, and don't exercise too much in pursuit of good results.
