Mastering Cardio Fitness: Maximising Fat Burn and Cardio Gains Like Never Before
Ready to burn serious fat and improve your endurance in cardio? Then, it’s time to include treadmills in your routine. According to research, running a treadmill can provide the same intense workout as running on an outdoor trail or the road. With a treadmill, you can run or walk year-round, regardless of the season. It’s easy to use, with changeable settings to bring more variety to your runs and walks. Plus, it provides a safer way to do cardio without worrying about navigating running trails or dodging vehicles outdoors.
Do you want to maximise cardio workouts on treadmills? Check out these tips:
Get in the zone.
Instead of aiming for distance or speed, try to reach your target heart rate training zone and sustain that intensity for at least 20 minutes. That said, you don’t have to push yourself to that level on your first try. Try to get used to being in your ideal heart rate zone for 5 to 10 minutes, then take a break to help your body adapt to the new routine. This way, you can gradually build your endurance until you can achieve at least 150 minutes of exercise every week in your heart range.
To know your target heart rate, subtract your age from 220, then set the number to 60% to 80%, which is a low-risk yet effective range.
