A treadmill is not a complicated machine and should not put any problems to a regular person. But there are certain things and you need to know if you are a beginner.
You need to know that the first 5 minutes will not be comfortable. This is a new thing and your body need to adjust his reactions.
If is your first time on a treadmill then don’t run. Start by walking at a lower speed. For the first times (until you get used training on a treadmill) you can make use of handrails but don’t get use it since is a big mistake
When you run try to stay in the center of the belt. Make sure you are aware of the treadmill security features and that you warm up before doing any workout.

Most of the latest treadmill models have iPod Docks and TV screens incorporated into console. Some good music can do wonders for your training but we don’t recommend using the console’s TV. If you want to watch that screen you have to adopt an incorrect posture so you better don’t do it. If you insist watching TV while running on a treadmill then put the screen at eyes level.Do the same if you want to read a magazine.
Also most of the latest treadmills come with different workouts programs incorporated. These workouts are designed by professional trainers so we strongly recommend these especially if you are training at home without professional help.
In the end remember that is more important to exercise correctly rather than running/walking and maintain an incorrect posture. Every 5 minutes focus for a while on your movements and make sure that you’re moving the arms correctly; the shoulders are in the right positions etc. Doing the workout correctly is more important than running an extra mile.
