five ways to level up your treadmill workout this treadmill which is a matrix t50 is very versatile
and i'm going to show you how to use it to level up your conditioning or your workouts right now
now let's be honest a lot of times when you have access to a treadmill you typically walk up to it
and you push the start button you start to run and you just work at a constant pace most people do
that although that is a great way to get fit there are five ways that you can instantly increase
the effectiveness or just to recharge your treadmill workouts and we're gonna go over those
right now number one the deadmill when you turn your treadmill off like this t50 treadmill from
matrix fitness it allows you to use the belt on the motor without the motor being on it's a great
way for you guys to really work on strong hip drive to increase your heart rate very quickly
and get the most out of your treadmill how i like to do it in classes or even with my own workouts
is do short bursts of energy 10 seconds on 10 seconds off so more of a lactic type conditioning
and i also like to do it with single arm single arm drive with the motor really pushing the
belt across that motor allows you to work those obliques anti-rotation and to give you a different
feel of how to use a treadmill push it with just one arm make sure you switch it up for both sides
lastly mountain climbers when you use dead mill with mountain climbers it allows you
to get into further hip extension and power on the treadmill while really feeling your shoulder
and core stability as you're driving those hips back put those into your workouts today
and that's step one to leveling up your treadmill workouts number two of five ways to level up those
treadmill workouts walking uphill walking uphill is amazing for so many reasons but
the number one thing for me working with clients and again for my own training when i put this t50
treadmill up to 15 it instantly allows me to work on knee drive when you work on knee drive
it's allowing you to really focus on driving your hips up in a nice high range a high level of hip
flexion which a lot of times we get lazy with so if you're somebody who needs to work on turnover
especially as a runner crank that treble up to 12 or 50 percent and work on knee drive and
walking uphill alternatively you can walk uphill backwards to work quads or rectus femoris as
if you're extending out your shin calves anterior tibialis muscles that a lot of times we neglect so
do it that way as well another great way to walk uphill is to work different patterning
sideways forward backwards so you're working on great muscle activation in different patterns
if you feel like you want a nice easy workout you know with lower impact walk uphill that is
number two of those five ways to level up your treadmill workouts all right number three using
your treadmill as an anchor you have pillars you have an anchor you have it accessible to you right
away so use it as long as it's safe of course you start to use it as an anchor it's an awesome way
for you to incorporate bands to work on core work for core activation it's awesome for you to use
as a step to work weights if you hold dumbbells in your hands to use it as a little step up again it
doesn't have to be high to be effective when you use your treadmill as an anchor it's great for
power explosive activities you just have to set it up so that it's safe and it's convenient and
of course you work it into your treadmill workouts remember treadmills like this one have areas for
you to be able to push pause do your sets get back on the treadmill to get that ultimate full body
workout alright squad number four and remember most people just push start push up your incline
to push up your speed and go to work i want you to mix up your intervals think of it like this
quick explosive intervals then go back to a recovery think of endurance where you're just
doing a longer workout day but the next day you're gonna do intervals like hiit style one minute on
30 seconds active recovery maybe walk uphill on those active recoveries or maybe you're going to
hiit those 10 by 10s those eight lactic hardcore conditioning sets those are really effective
when you mix up the intervals and you really utilize what treadmills are for by using different
inclines and speeds you're going to do a lot of things increase your condition increase your
confidence on the treadmill and of course use different energy systems to help pick
up your fitness this is a versatile tool so don't be afraid to mix up your intervals
get your body used to different stimulus so you can optimize those awesome treatment workouts
also list liss versus hiit list is usually around say 60 minutes hiit could be 30 minutes or less i
did a video of that on the channel right here you can go to that car and check that one out
if you want more information on that one so think hiit training one minute on 30 seconds off or even
and list training is more of you know smaller interval increases for longer durations
so yes you're increasing your intensities in your intervals but you can also increase your duration
it depends on how you're feeling your fitness level and what you're after all right guys try
those ones as well all right number five of those five ways to level up your treadmill workouts
right now boxing add boxing into your treadmill workouts you see it on social media all the time

of a part of the culture what i'm saying though is yes you can work some of those on the trimmer
if you're advanced and you're comfortable but add it as sets do your boxing combos do your
your sets on the treadmill or you can even do it in a hiit style one minute hiit on the
treadmill 30 seconds active recovery one minute hiit boxing 30 seconds after recovery or you
