Treadmill  VS actual running As a so-called “professional” who does fitness equipment evaluation, I must answer this question. I just tested two treadmills a few days ago. When I tested the speed, I thought of the question asked by the questioner on Zhihu, so I quickly took the time to answer it after testing the treadmill. I think everyone knows that all machines have errors. The same is true for treadmills. Generally speaking, treadmills have adjustable speed ranges, with a maximum of 16km/h and 18km/h… So when we run on a treadmill, does the actual speed really reach the speed set by the treadmill? I have tested so many treadmills, and I can tell you responsibly that it is not necessarily the case. First of all, the speed of a treadmill is related to its horsepower. Some treadmills have a small error before 8km/h, but the error becomes larger and larger when the speed exceeds 8, because the motor horsepower cannot keep up. For example, we test a treadmill (assuming its maximum speed is 16) at three speeds, 4, 8, and 12, when it is unloaded and loaded. The test results are as follows: (1) Unloaded   As can be […]

When using a treadmill for running, the speed usually selected depends on the individual’s ability to bear it. It usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes to run, which can achieve the effect of burning fat and achieve the effect of assisting weight loss. It takes a long time to stick to this method to see obvious weight loss results. Running on the treadmill can help you lose weight. The specific time varies from person to person. Generally, you can see some weight loss within 2 weeks。 1. Only when the duration of exercise is more than about 40 minutes, the fat in the human body can be mobilized to supply energy together with glycogen. With the extension of exercise time, the proportion of fat energy supply can reach 85% of the total consumption. Therefore, no matter the amount of exercise, the exercise time must be more than 40 minutes to be effective. 2. Under the premise of fully warming up, jogging for 30 minutes is the time when the fast energy consumption is almost the same, and the energy reserve fat begins to be mobilized and ready to burn; if you stop exercising at this time, you will not […]
