We are all attracted to the idea of running one day Forrest Gump style and crossing bridges, paths and highways until we find ourselves. Few people imagine doing that on a treadmill. Without a doubt one of the romantic ideas of running is the freedom of body and mind. In addition, you only need shoes, a shirt that does not rub you and headphones, if they are wireless, better than better.
Without wanting to play that attractive mysticism, there are times when it is more convenient to do a workout using a treadmill than to do it outdoors. Leaving aside that there are days when it rains and is cold, not everyone lives next to a beautiful meadow with perfect roads to travel. The practice of running in some cities becomes very complicated not only due to the traffic, the lack of spaces or the people, but also now the restrictions imposed by the pandemic are added, including wearing a suffocating mask. In addition to this, there are a number of reasons regarding health to take into account:
1. The tape is perfect for avoiding injuries or recovering from them
By controlling the rhythm and inclination, and applying it constantly, we avoid straining the muscles that may be more delicate. In addition, running on a treadmill reduces the impact against the ground since the treadmill is usually more padded, some even have suspensions.
2. You perfectly control distances and times
Since nothing stands in your way, it is easier to control the times in which a distance is covered and thus measure improvements in an easier way. You do not need instruments such as a watch or GPS to know the result of the training. In addition, we improved the technique of running in an easier way.
3. You can run barefoot
Running barefoot or barefoot is a technique that is becoming very fashionable. It has its advantages for the body since it returns to the most natural form of running, avoiding so much heel support. The ankle, knee and hip joints perform the cushioning of impacts on the ground by themselves.
If with this we have convinced you that having a treadmill at home can be something in addition to being very useful, we encourage you to take a look at the models that we have at Clover Fitness. Whether you need a simple and inexpensive model or if you want something more sophisticated and professional, but without spending a fortune we have everything you need.
