# Treadmill Running

Stand on the treadmill with your feet on the side rails and attach the safety clip to your clothing.

## How to do it

1. Stand on the treadmill with your feet on the side rails and attach the safety clip to your clothing. Start the treadmill at a low speed to safely step onto the belt.
2. Once you are on the moving belt, gradually increase the speed to a running pace, maintaining an upright posture with your core engaged.
3. Keep your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, swinging them naturally at your sides to match your running rhythm.
4. Maintain a steady pace, landing mid-foot with each stride and keeping your breathing steady. Run for the desired duration or distance.

## Form tips

- Keep your head up and gaze forward, avoiding looking down at your feet.
- Use a smooth, natural stride to reduce the impact on your joints.
- Ensure the treadmill speed is set at a comfortable level that allows you to maintain good form.
