Treadmill Running Schedule

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Aaron Hale at Fitness for Life here in Wilmington, North Carolina and I want to talk to you a little bit about how to draw a running schedule for yourself. If you are really looking to get in shape, if you are really looking to lose weight, that's why a lot of us set running schedules, we probably need to run a minimum of four days a week at a minimum of 45 minutes a day. We would like to get that time period up to five or six days a week, as little as an hour a day, those sorts of running schedules. Now probably change up where you run. Running outside has its benefits but also we need to run inside as well. The running on a treadmill is going to be a much more low impact activity. It is going to save our joints from the trauma of running outside all the time. But hey let's be honest a lot of us enjoy running outside, it's a wonderful activity especially if you like to change the view up a little bit as opposed to just looking at a television monitor in a gym. But running on a treadmill also has its benefits as well. If you stick with the schedule between four to five days a week at a minimum, at a minimum of 45 minutes a day, you are watching your diet, you live a clean lifestyle. You will see the weight come off. This has been Aaron Hale at Fitness for Life."
