Question #34: treadmill questions!!!?
i use the treadmill when i exercise, but i walk
for an hour and sometimes more, am i getting
enough exercise as opposed to running? also,
what's the faster way of having toned calfs and
legs using the treadmill and how long does it
take? lastly, what should i do with my arms while
i'm walking on the treadmill? i don't have those
weight things, so what are alternatives?best
answer to the most helpful one!!!!
Answer: You're doing plenty of time if you're doing that
say three times a week. If you are walking as
fast or hard as you need to to get your heart rate
up, then it should be as good as running.
Remember though to warm up and cool down. Very
important. I don't know if your treadmill has an
incline but if it does, your calves will
definitely feel the burn on that. If you don't
want to buy weights, hold a couple of water
bottles full of water or sand.Edit: With the
weights or water bottle, do some movements with
your arms (provided you can keep your balance
well), such as side laterals, arm curls, overhead
extensions while you walk. Say 15 to 20 of each
movement, 2 to 3 times total.

Question #38: Exercise treadmill troubleshooting help please!?
Hi! I was running on my treadmill when it
suddenly caused me to almost fall as it felt like
the walking belt was skipping or hitting the side.
I stopped quick and noticed that the walking belt
had shifted to the side and my manual reads that
you use the allen wrench on the rear bolts at the
end of the treadmill, you can then adjust the belt
and center it, then back with the wrench to
tighten the bolts back up. I did just that and
carefully not to overtighten the walking belt like
it said. I tested it and ran again, I noticed
while running that the belt was shifting again
slowly but from the front of the treadmill or by
the "hood" of it and not the rear of the
treadmill. I did call the service place but until
they come out (it'll cost a fortune), has anybody
had an experience like this? Do you think it
maybe needs a new belt? After adjusting &
centering the belt a few times, only the front
continues to shift and you can't adjust the belt
from the front with the wrench. Thank u!
Answer: keep playing with it-- it is a matter of fine
tuning the thing with the allen wrench. I used to
have one and it was a pain but I finally got it
calibrated correctly.
