1. Step 1
Check the area around your treadmill. Make sure there are no pointy or
hard objects behind you and the space is clear.
2. Step 2
If you're using a heart rate monitor, be sure to put it on prior to
standing on the belt.
3. Step 3
Straddle the belt while the belt is not moving.
4. Step 4
Some treadmills have a stop chain, a magnetic device that will
automatically stop the belt if it's disconnected. Decide whether to connect
it to you.
5. Step 5
Select your workout program and enter all information.
6. Step 6
Start the belt at the slowest speed.
7. Step 7
While holding onto the railings, paw the belt with one foot, as you might
imagine a bull would do before running toward a bullfighter. This gets you
used to the feeling and momentum of the belt.
8. Step 8
Walk with both feet on the belt while holding onto the railings.
9. Step 9
Gradually increase the speed.
10. Step 10
It is not advised to walk backwards on a treadmill. If you choose to do
so, use caution and place hands on both hand railings.
11. Step 11
Add variety to your workout by changing the speed and incline.
