“Not Challenging yourself “ - this is one of the most common mistake people do when they doing treadmill workouts. If you train every day and do the same workout or the same set of workouts is very possible to not improve your fitness and get bored.

Doing the same exercises for a long period makes the body get used with the workouts and since you are not push yourself you will not improve your form.

There are several factors that influence your training and that can be adjusted in order to challenge yourself. The first one is the training intensity. You can add more intensity to your training by changing the treadmill incline or speed.
The second factor is the training duration. Increase your working time but be careful and do not exaggerate. You can increase the duration of the training with 10-15% per week or double the training session one time per week.
Another factor that can help you improve the fitness level is the training frequency. If you train for 3 times per week try to do this every day. If you do this every day try to do a workout in the morning and one in the evening (in the beginning do shorter sessions).
If you start to get bored and feel that you are not challenged you can vary the exercises. Combine the treadmill workouts with weigh training, bike or stair climber.Last but not least: Set goals and try to achieve them. If you walk/run 3 miles per day try to do it for 5 miles. Again do not try to reach a goal in a single training session but plan a slow increase over multiple days.

Also many of the latest treadmills offer things like “virtual opponent”. Use these features in order to make the treadmill workouts more interesting.
