First let’s talk basics. Why not capitalize on an exercise that has already been integrated into our physical makeup since the dawn of man. Well, let’s not get anthropologic – how about since man has been upright or since Adam was created from dust. Whatever your beliefs, nothing is more simple than putting one foot in front of the other (okay, toddlers are exceptions.) A treadmill can provide an easy, efficient workout and offer varying levels of difficulty. Did I say easy and difficult in the same sentence? What I mean is that walking is easy but the workout can be customized for all fitness levels. Beginners to advanced exercisers can receive a great workout on a treadmill. You can walk, jog or run on a treadmill no matter what your fitness level. Most treadmills come with programs that accommodate all levels of fitness utilizing the incline and speed functions. There are plenty of treadmills to choose from online.
I know – the solution for an effective home workout seems too simple, but it is. Go get yourself a treadmill. There is no learning curve for a treadmill. You can simply step on the platform and go. You can set your own pace or have a program set it for you. Treadmills reign supreme when it comes to cardio equipment use. I cannot quote you any studies (although I am sure they exist) but I have owned a treadmill for five years and use it at least twice a week in combination with other equipment. This comes from the queen of the exercise graveyard (according to my husband who is glad to have his garage back.) So what are you waiting for…take a walk and get a treadmill!
