6 Benefits of Running on a Treadmill

6 Benefits of Running on a Treadmill

Running on a treadmill is a great form of exercise! It is great for cardiovascular fitness, much easier on the joints than road running, and can be done at any time from the comfort of your own home! Here are 6 benefits:

1. Customise Your Workouts

On a treadmill you can customise your workouts to suit your schedule, fitness level, and preferred type of running. You may choose hills one day at a slower pace, a slight incline another day at a faster pace or any combination of preferred or custom designed running schedules. When you organise treadmills hire in Brisbane and the Gold Coast through Hire Fitness, we can help you to program your workouts. 

2. Minimise Injury Risks

Running on a treadmill is much easier on your joints than road running. You control your distance and speed, and the padded surface decreases the impact. Running on asphalt and concrete every day can place stress on your body and cause injury.

3. You Can Run at Any Time

When you organise treadmill hire, you have the convenience of running at home at any time of the day or night. Rain, hail or shine, your treadmill is always available.

4. Enjoy Your Workout

Running outdoors can become boring. When you use a treadmill, you can watch a movie, listen to music, or catch up on your favourite TV show. Working out at home can be a lot of fun!

5. Lose Weight

Running for just 20 minutes at 10 kilometres per hour can burnaround 225 calories. If you run faster or for longer you can burn more! A treadmill is a great form of exercise for weight loss, and you can see exactly how many calories you burn each session.

6. Track Your Heart Rate

When you organise fitness equipment hire, you can track your heart rate, pulse, calories burned, kilometres run and much more. We have a wide variety of treadmills to choose from. 

At Fitness Hire we have a wide range of treadmills and fitness equipment for hire. We service the Gold Coast, Brisbane and surrounding areas. For friendly professional advice contact us today.
