Common Treadmill Mistakes! | Indoor Running Errors You Shouldn't Make!

one more thing. Always connect to the safety cord. No matter how good you think you are accidents can happen and flying off the back of a treadmill at 20kph in to a wall, a weights rack, another person or something else can be dangerous

Kind of looking forward to January when the treadmills are literally filled with all bodies and sizes - it’s inspiring and I feel like I’m charging into battle with a group of humans lol

Now I normally do a triple summersault dismount when I end my run..... Is this wrong....??

People holding onto the treadmill on an incline is the most common occurrence in my gym. I feel like asking them when outdoors, how do they walk or run up hills without something to hold on to?

Thanks for this video. I'm travelling for work, and I've been running on a treadmill in my hotel gym so this is great timing for me.

Treadmills have stood the test of time compared to most fads out there.

Finally got myself a treadmill. Placed it in front of a mirror. Very excited. This video is very useful. Thank you.

Chose the Random workout, about level 2. This will bounce you around up to 2.5% incline, so more like a flat run outside. Random works better than Hills as it goes to 0% less often. Not a fan of treadmills, but blizzards make speed work a bit difficult. Thanks, Heather.

OMG you killed me with the incline walker XD. You can spot at least one of these specimens in their natural habitat at my gym xD rofl

Thanks for these great tips.

Lol. I thought I was the only one thinking that holding on to an inclined treadmill cannot be an effective workout, it happens all the time at the gyms I go to (I am an avid walker and use the treadmill with incline for ‘hill training’, but without holding on for dear life lol). Thanks for pointing out other common mistakes on the treadmill while running (have to admit that I have been making some of those mistakes myself ;))

Thanks much..learn a lot

Another mistake is accidentally stepping on the side as the treadmill is moving. 😐😲

Incline walker hanging on! Nailed it! This kills me every time I see it.

good points! thank you

Hi. If you have a Stryd power meter and compare the data with outside, a slope of 1.5% would be the more natural adjustment. 😉

Great advice.

Hey! You mentioned the importance of a good warm up. Could you guide us on a good warm up routine?! Would be great if you do!

It's important to remain totally focused on the run. Becoming distracted, looking to either side or fiddling with your phone can cause embarrassing accidents.

During one of the rare rainy days in So Cal, I was doing an indoor brick at my gym. After about a half an hour, I reached for my towel to wipe my face (something you don't really get outdoors), I accidentally dropped my towel, and incidentally dropped the towel. Without thinking, I reached down to pick up my towel, and was swept off. Having scrapped my left knee, and embarrassing myself, I then just stepped right back on... to the same exact effect, but to my right knee. I did finish my run, but with a red glaze on my face to match the set of red scrapes, burning from sweat, on my knees.
