How to do it

Setup

  1. Straddle the treadmill belt by standing on the side rails and attach the safety clip securely to your clothing.
  2. Select your program or start the treadmill at a low walking speed, then step smoothly onto the belt.
  3. Gradually increase the speed and incline until you reach your target running pace.

Movement

  1. Run with an upright posture, keeping your chest open and shoulders relaxed.
  2. Land with your feet underneath your hips, avoiding excessive overstriding.
  3. Allow your arms to swing naturally forward and back with bent elbows to maintain balance and rhythm.
  4. Continue running at your prescribed pace for the planned duration or distance.

Breathing

Maintain a steady, rhythmic breathing pattern synchronized with your stride rate.

Cues

  • Stay tall through the torso
  • Quick light feet under your center of mass
  • Relax the shoulders and hands
  • Look forward, not down at the console

Common faults

Holding onto the handrails while running.
Reduce the belt speed or incline so you can run freely with a natural arm swing.
Overstriding and landing heavily on the heels ahead of the body.
Shorten your stride and increase cadence so your feet land directly beneath your hips.
Drifting too close to the front console or too far back near the end of the belt.
Position yourself in the middle third of the running deck and maintain an even pace.

Safety

  • Always attach the emergency stop clip to your clothing before starting the machine.
  • Do not jump off a fast-moving belt; straddle the side rails and decrease speed safely if needed.
