The difference between treadmill and outdoor running

Why do people choose to run when losing fat?

Compared with many exercise methods, many people give priority to running to lose fat. Why is this? There are two reasons.

First, the first aspect is from a scientific point of view, that is, the fat burning heart rate, you can calculate their own fat burning heart rate through the calculation formula:

Fat burning heart rate = (220- age) *60%~70%
In various sports, in fact, running is the easiest exercise to control the heart rate, by adjusting the breathing, adjusting the rhythm, and then trying to close to the fat burning heart rate can be, and running is also a very persistent aerobic exercise, so we take running as the preferred option for fat burning. In addition, the exercise parts mobilized by running are relatively more comprehensive, which is more able to mobilize the muscles of the whole body than other types of exercise, and can effectively enhance our heart and lung function.

Second, then the second point is actually from the perspective of life, running needs the least equipment, that is to say, the prerequisite is very few, and can stick to longer.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of scientific fat reduction or from the perspective of life, running is actually a very recommended sport, which can not only sweat freely, but also enhance the body and improve the health of the body.

Third, why do we value treadmill climbing in the pursuit of efficient fat loss?
This is because compared to ordinary treadmills, treadmills that support slope adjustment have their own unique advantages. For example, uphill running requires greater cardiopulmonary output than flat running, while enhancing the intensity and difficulty of the exercise, the exercise effect will be better, that is, it can enhance the cardiopulmonary function and increase the consumption of calories.

At the same time, the treadmill climbing running will correspondingly reduce the impact of the joint, because compared with the flat running, the landing mode of the footsteps when climbing running will be slightly relaxed, which can reduce the impact on the knee joint to a certain extent.

In this way, the whole exercise process needs to constantly adjust the center of gravity and pace, so as to improve the balance and coordination of the body. At the same time, compared with a single flat race, it can increase the challenge.

So in general, I personally recommend that you give priority to the treadmill that supports the adjustment of slope, so that you can set 0 slope running, but also set different slope running, which can better meet different needs.

Fourth, what are the common concerns you have when choosing a treadmill?
Since you have chosen a treadmill, it is necessary to look at all aspects of the parameters, but there are also some friends who have told me their concerns, and then share with you to see if you also have these concerns.

1. Too much noise
There are many treadmills on the market have the problem of excessive noise, in general, in fact, the normal running sound itself is not much, and the source of greater noise is that the treadmill chassis is not stable enough, and the noise generated by the treadmill motor is relatively large, and even has a disturbing impact on the upstairs and downstairs.

For example, my first treadmill was abandoned because of excessive sound, and the special impact of crunching every time I run, even if I wear headphones, it will affect my family and neighbors, and can only be idle and sold.

So before you buy a treadmill, you must understand whether its mute effect is good, whether it is a more silent brushless motor, and see if it has a related sound-absorbing silent design, and finally make a choice.

2. The vibration is too obvious
This problem is actually related to the noise above, because we are certainly relatively stable when running on the flat, but if the material of the treadmill is not good or there is no relevant cushion-damping technology into it, it will rise and fall, and the vibration is too obvious.

In this way, both on the treadmill itself, or on our exercise effect and even on our bodies have a certain impact. For example, continuous large vibration will certainly put greater pressure on the various components of the treadmill, which will lead to shortened life and even deformation of the treadmill in the long run. Secondly, if the vibration amplitude is too large, it will certainly affect our running rhythm, reduce the efficiency of running, and it is difficult to accurately control the intensity of the movement, and even increase the risk of joint injury and muscle strain.

Therefore, when purchasing, we must choose a treadmill with a small vibration amplitude, preferably a treadmill with cushioned black technology. There are no specific indicators to refer to. However, we can test the vibration amplitude of the treadmill through the vitometer, the smaller the amplitude of the treadmill, the stronger its material, the more stable the internal structure.

3, speed/slope adjustment range is small, low ceiling
Before starting to promote this assessment article, I did a brief survey, and many people are joking about their own treadmill in terms of speed adjustment, the adjustable range is too small, more importantly, most of the treadmill in the family do not support slope adjustment, and do not support electric adjustment, only support manual adjustment.

After listening to the ridicule, I suggest that you try not to start with this ordinary treadmill, after all, its exercise effect and experience must be much worse. Of course, some people may feel that they are novices and do not need these functions, but in fact, the proper speed and slope can get better fitness results.

For example, when I took a sports private lesson before, the coach would help me adjust the speed and slope to the right value, so that I can get a better level of fat burning in normal aerobic training. So when you buy a treadmill, you should remember to see how its speed adjustment range is, and whether it supports slope adjustment and so on.

4. APP use experience
Finally, the APP experience, many ordinary treadmill does not support the connection of the APP, can not save sports data, long-term record data changes, monitor the effect of their own sports, so that the experience will be greatly reduced. In addition, even if some treadmill supports the connection APP, but it is contracted to a third party, it is not smooth to use, the course is still relatively scarce, and the experience is not good.

In addition, now everyone is talking about fun sports, but how can we really experience fun sports? I think it must be a combination of work and rest, for example, usually walking 10,000 steps feel quite difficult, but with friends to eat and drink, chat while climbing, feel that time passes quickly, in fact, there is a certain amount of energy dispersion.

Therefore, if we blindly run on the treadmill, it is difficult to stick to it, sometimes feel that the time to watch a drama is very fast, but how to combine sports and entertainment together, which may need to upgrade the function of the treadmill. For example, some treadmills can join games or racing links during exercise, so that they can stimulate their sense of movement.
