How to perform exercise

To begin, step onto the treadmill and select the desired option from the menu. Most treadmills have a manual setting, or you can select a program to run. Typically, you can enter your age and weight to estimate the amount of calories burned during exercise. Elevation can be adjusted to change the intensity of the workout.
Treadmills offer convenience, cardiovascular benefits, and usually have less impact than walking outside. When walking, you should move at a moderate to fast pace, not a leisurely one. Being an activity of lower intensity, walking doesn’t burn as many calories as some other activities, but still provides great benefit. A 150 lb person will burn about 175 calories walking 4 miles per hour for 30 minutes, compared to 450 calories running twice as fast. Maintain proper posture as you walk, and only hold onto the handles when necessary, such as when dismounting or checking your heart rate.

What muscles work?

If the correct technique is followed, the following muscle groups work: Quads, and auxiliary muscles:

Weight and number of repetitions

The number of repetitions and working weight depends on your goal and other parameters. But the general recommendations can be presented in the form of a table:

Goal	Sets	Reps	Weight, %1Rm	Rest between sets
Strength	2-6	1-5 reps	100-85%	3-7 min
Mass gain	3-6	6-12 reps	85-60%	1-4 min
Fat burning	2-4	13-25 reps	60-40%	1-2 min

In order to make the training more diverse and effective you have to change the number of repetitions and the working weight. It is important not to go beyond certain values!
