What are the benefits of treadmill workout ?
by Healthcare Guide EntrepreneurEverything has become
either virtual or mechanical making it ‘easy’ for us, humans, to be independent
of the ‘real’ experiences. Like the many versions of Play Station and PSP, with
each new decade, the real time experience of playing any outdoor game is
reducing day by day. So much so that it is not ‘outdoor’ games anymore. From
football to tennis, horse-racing to baseball, even the physical contact and
exercise is zeroing-in.
Similarly, in the
technology world, even the simplest of exercise like running or jogging can be done
right at home. Though the physical and outdoor experience stands out as the
most beneficial of all and healthy too. Yet, a recent study has found out that
running on a treadmill burns more calories and reduces fat more, as compared to
running or jogging outside.
Indeed, it is a bit
surprising to know this and this is no marketing tactics. For sure, there are
numerous reasons why treadmill workouts are beneficial and most effective in
reducing weight or burning those extra kilos off. And this article, explores
some of those points.
SELF-BENEFITS-
Treadmill v/s Running Outside
The best of having a
treadmill at home and choosing it instead of running outside is that you can
give no excuses. It is too sunny, it is raining, etc., no excuse can prevent
you from continuing your exercise on the treadmill.
You will have privacy,
no bumping into strangers or animals, or stopping for the traffic. Already the
footpaths are disappearing and all you can see is one car after another- on the
pavement, on the road, around the parks.
It is true that you
will lose that ‘natural touch’ of jogging around nature, but think of this, is
really the around you pure? The increasing amount of polluted air just makes it
more convincing to run on a treadmill.
And what’s more, you
can watch your favorite serial, movie as well workout at the same time. No
boring workouts then!
HEALTHY FOR HEART
It is a fact that all
heart patients go through a treadmill test so you can imagine how helpful and
useful is a treadmill is determining a heart disease. As much as it helps in
recognizing a potential threat to your heart, it also aids in keeping your
heart healthy.
A daily treadmill
exercise regime helps improve blood circulation, which is the foremost benefit
for a healthy heart. In addition, it in lowering blood pressure by
strengthening the heart.
Exercising on a
treadmill also helps in protecting against blood vessel/heart disease by
lowering the levels of bad cholesterol. Thus, in short, it helps in controlling
cholesterol levels too.
Although, treadmill
exercising and running is an appealing option, yet it is always best to consult
your doctor before hopping on that treadmill. Just to be sure whether your body
would be able to handle such stress and exertion.
DIABETES CONTROL
The way treadmill
burns out the bad cholesterol, in the same way, it helps in controlling the
insulin level in type 2 diabetic patients. The Indian Journal of
Clinical Biochemistry had published a study stating that with
regular exercise the blood sugar levels decrease in diabetic patients.
The right diet and a
routine exercise can curb the diabetes problem so much so that the medication
one is receiving, can be regulated or reduced accordingly.
Another interesting
aspect of treadmill workout is that it regulates sleep pattern. The more your
body works, the more you sleep better undisturbed. Thus, it improves the sleep
cycles by inducing sleep hormones, which are regulated by a specific exercise
routine.
WEIGHT LOSS & FAT
BURN
A recent study has
proved that treadmill workout burns fat faster and speedily too than, running/
jogging outside. Think about this, for every mile you run on a treadmill, you
burn 100 calories.
As you get
comfortable, you can run non-stop on a treadmill.
Consequently, you will reach a point where you’re able to run for half-and-hour
at a stretch without stopping.
With each day as you
rev up your workout intensity and increase the speed, the more calories you
burn, aiding in a speedy weight loss.
A healthy diet along
with a routine treadmill workout would just act as a catalyst for your weight
loss program.
SPEEDY SPEED UP
Various features have
come out in the new-age treadmills. Now you can check how many calories you
have burnt, your BP reading is flashed in front you and it can even read your
heart rate.
Similarly, speed and
incline features are included in the treadmill nowadays. For those who want to
increase their running speed, it is a common practice of running down a hill.
But when you have a treadmill, you can make it a bit more challenging and also,
where would one find a hill in a congested area! For this, you can just
increase the speed on your treadmill slowly once you get adjusted to the incline.
Then, accordingly, heighten the incline.
In this way, it helps
in improving your speed rate as well.
Most treadmills are
manual but at this moment where everyone is a techno-freak,motorized
treadmill are in demand. The best way to choose the right one
is to consider the factors like- price, quality, brand, fold-ability, features,
etc.
No doubt treadmills
are beneficial than any other gym equipment and, what's more, is that now you
can get them at affordable prices. They are the best option for a one-time
investment. So, sow once and reap its benefits for a lifetime.
