Treadmills are devises that provide a variety of workouts. Aerobic exercise and strength training are two of the popular uses for a treadmill.
Features
Some treadmills have only speed and incline features, while others have workout options that can be set to give you the kind of workout you want. Workout options can range from low to high intensity.
Readings
Treadmills can tell you the number of miles you've gone, how many calories you've burned and your heart rate. These indicators can help you create specific workouts and goals.
Types
The basic workout a treadmill offers is aerobic. This includes moderate walking, jogging or walking on an incline.
Strength Training
Jogging and running on a treadmill help shed fat and strengthen the abdominal and core muscle groups. Setting the treadmill at a high incline and walking at a moderate speed helps strengthen the butt, thighs and calves.
Benefits
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that adults get at least two and a half hours of moderate workouts each week and at least two days of strength training. Both of these are easily achieved on a treadmill.
