Treadmill indoor running, as a time-saving and convenient, and is not affected by the weather of the exercise by many people’s favor, but for those who intend to try treadmill running, treadmill purchase and use of a lot of questions. This issue pushes for the treadmill to the majority of runners to do an answer.

01Is it true that treadmills hurt your knees?

In fact, there are many reasons for knee damage caused by running, and the reaction force of the hard surface of concrete is even more likely to cause damage to the knee in comparison. The treadmills on the market today have different degrees of shock absorption. As long as one overcomes the problems of incorrect running posture, too long exercise time, too fast setting speed, etc., the use of treadmill will not have adverse effects on the knees.

02What’s the difference between running on a treadmill and running outdoors

The exact feeling varies from person to person, but in general, running on a treadmill will be more effortless and relaxing than outdoors. Running on an indoor treadmill requires less effort as we don’t have to overcome wind resistance. At the same time, the elasticity and shock absorbing design of the treadmill’s conveyor belt also reduces the amount of force required by the body. Many of the treadmills on the market today also come with corresponding courses, which will also be a distraction and easier for runners who are just starting to try out long-distance running.

03Do you need special running shoes on the treadmill?

No need, the conveyor belt of the treadmill itself is elastic and softer than the outdoor ground. Running shoes that are normally used for outdoor running can be used directly on the treadmill with no problem.

04Do’s and don’ts of using a treadmill

Indoor treadmill running is much the same as outdoor running, don’t eat too much before exercise, just add some energy appropriately. It’s best to do a full warm-up before you go for a run to avoid muscle strain in the process of running. Treadmill running pay attention to grasp the rhythm, from the slow walking in the transition to running, so that the effect of the movement is the most ideal.

05How to buy a treadmill

There are several key parameters to look at when choosing a treadmill. The motor is the heart of the treadmill, and its quality is related to the treadmill’s life, smoothness, noise and so on. Generally speaking, the motor power is 1HP or 2HP, so you can choose according to your own situation. The slope has a great influence on the knee, generally 2~5° is more suitable, the entry-level treadmill does not have the adjustment function, fixed about 2.6 degrees.

 

Shock absorption design is very important. Effective treadmills usually use rubber shock absorption or airbag shock absorption, some manufacturers also have their own patents. Entry-level treadmills use EVA or spring damping.

Four exercises to strengthen your stride and be like the wind

If you have any queries or suggestions, please feel free to reach out via email to info@harisonfitness.com. We will do everything in our capacity to ensure that you love your experience with us.

 

Having a good body is the desire of many people, but in order to improve immunity and strengthen the body, it is definitely necessary to move and drill. So many people choose to use running, an environmentally friendly and convenient exercise, to exercise their bodies. Running stride is very important for running, and today we will learn about stride. Stride is the distance of a step when we run, to the center of the foot to count, the same foot between two consecutive landings, even if the stride is stride.

So what does stride length represent? Some people are inherently taller, and if they have long legs, then when they run, their stride length is naturally larger than others. Generally speaking, when the stride frequency is similar, the larger the stride, the faster the pace, which actually means the running ability is stronger. But students who do not have long legs should not worry; through the latter days of hard practice, they can also improve the size of the stride. Next,  take a look at several strengthening stride training methods!

01High Leg Exercises

First of all, we have to swing the arms of both hands. In the process of practicing, the bending angle of the legs should naturally become 90 degrees. When one leg is lifted, the other leg should be as straight as possible. It can also be appropriate to learn some high-leg running action; through the high-leg exercise, we can fully exercise our lower abdomen, waist, and abdominal muscles. Pay attention to exercise, from slow to fast gradually.

02Uphill running with a back kick

When we practice uphill running, because the center of gravity of the body is forward, our torso will lean forward, and we need to unconsciously increase the pace to keep the body stable. Often, practicing uphill running is conducive to strengthening the stride.

Rear kick running in the practice of the main attention to three issues, first of all, the body should be slightly leaning forward, secondly, to use the toe stomp off the ground, swing the leg, using the knee joint to drive the hips to swing forward, and finally the foot off the ground when the rear kick with the thigh folded, the knee joint is relaxed, so that it is close to the hip.

03Exercise leg strength

We are running to a large extent to use the leg muscle strength, so increasing leg strength is also a way to increase the stride. You can choose to do some weighted exercises in the gym, but also in daily life, pay more attention to the exercise legs, such as in training to increase some of the frog jump, squatting, etc., which can be very good to help us exercise the thigh muscles, thus enhancing the stride capacity.

04jumping jacks

There are several points to note in the practice of the stride jump. First of all, you can perform sprints and mid-range runners to assist the jump, improve the jumping foot to land quickly, and increase the distance by swinging the legs and arms and driving the body with a hard upward swing of the arms, combined with a runner’s jump.

Whether you are a fast runner or a jogger, stride length is also just a way to assist you in increasing your pace. During running, you should still try to focus on your heart rate and stride frequency, and I believe that by learning more about running, your ability to run will be greatly increased!

A little 200KM long ride on a hot summer day~

If you have any queries or suggestions, please feel free to reach out via email to info@harisonfitness.com. We will do everything in our capacity to ensure that you love your experience with us.

 

Unconsciously, the summer has unfolded its “warm” embrace to us, and such weather is most suitable for riding your favorite mountain bike, appearing in the noisy and crowded highway, drenched in the mountain road, as well as full of all kinds of unknown countryside wild roads, to have a hearty 200KM cycling tour!

01Route planning
Long-distance route planning requires “living within your means”. First of all, you should judge your own ability to ride, as well as the vehicle load and physical exertion situation to develop a practical cycling destination.

Then, divide the entire ride logically according to how long you expect to ride the tour and determine the distance you will ride each day. During the planning process, include consideration of all possible contingencies, including, but not limited to, road conditions, weather conditions, and unforeseen circumstances.

Secondly, you can also collect information about the traffic, humanity, attractions, and folklore around the route, in addition to being more comfortable and immersed in the riding process.

02Equipment selection
1) Cycling Bike: Because of the long distances and large spans of cycling, the most suitable model for long distances should be a touring bike. If you don’t carry any weight or not much weight and face the more complicated and diverse mixed road surface, you can choose a flat-handlebar touring bike that can install a rear rack and has a front shock absorber.

2) Riding helmet: Wearing a helmet can effectively protect the rider’s head and reduce the injuries caused by accidents. According to their use, helmets can be divided into mountain bike helmets, road bike helmets, time trial bike helmets, etc. In choosing riding helmets, riders should carefully measure their own head circumference, choose the most suitable size in order to provide the most effective protection.

3) Cycling clothing: cycling clothes are usually designed with bright colors, close-cut design to reduce wind resistance, and pockets are usually designed at the back to make it easy to pick up things while cycling. Cycling clothing can be divided into sleeveless, short-sleeved, long-sleeved, and long-sleeved fleece, suitable for different temperature conditions.

A cycling rain jacket is essential for long-distance cycling. A good quality cycling rain jacket is not only waterproof, but also breathable, and can be folded and put into a storage pouch for easy carrying when not worn. Accessories include a bandana, arm protectors, leg protectors, shoe covers, and leg straps.

03Fitness Preparation
Before a long-distance ride, it is recommended that cyclists use the principle of “step-by-step” to carry out endurance training, i.e., physical reserve, and at the same time improve the body’s ability to recover from fatigue after continuous cycling. Keep running in the morning to increase endurance, swimming to increase lung capacity, doing leg presses to practice flexibility, and jumping rope to increase thigh circumference. All the work beforehand is to make yourself in better condition during the journey, instead of falling asleep when you reach your destination.

04 Water and food for energy
Take something like compressed dry food, followed by a Snickers bar for calories. The bag should also always have a spare bottle of water, preferably pure water, so that when you have an accidental injury, you can flush the wound. Long-distance riding is very easy to get hungry; sometimes on a long stretch of road, there is no restaurant, kiosk, or something, so the preparation of these is not superfluous. Replenish your equipment and food after each destination!

05 Medicines and Band-Aids
Cold medicines, medicines to relieve muscle pain (e.g., safflower oil), alcohol, bandages,  or gauze If you ride Tibet, medicine to relieve plateau reactions is a must. Glucose powder can replenish the nutrition if you are tired of riding on plateaus.

A 200-kilometer ride is already called a long-distance ride, and no matter how well prepared you are in advance, you will surely encounter unexpected matters outside the situation, so learn to be flexible when encountering unexpected situations. In addition, we must pay attention to personal safety, and if you encounter difficult situations on the road, why not take the initiative to seek help from others?

Learn the Correct Way to Rest and Gain Double the Training Effect!

I believe that after every training
We all want to lie motionless
Because it is too tired

Is it really good to sit down or even lie down immediately after the exercise?
the answer is no.

How Does the Wrong Way of Rest Affect the Body?

1.Squat immediately after or during exercise

The blood flow speeds up after we exercise

If you sit still immediately

Blocked blood return

Insufficient blood supply to the brain can cause dizziness or fainting

2.Drink plenty of water at rest

We emphasize the timely replenishment of water during exercise
But it wasn’t irrigated
Suddenly drinking a lot of water will increase the burden on the heart
Cause physical discomfort, which in turn affects the training effect

3.Exercise interval is too long

Intermittent exercise also has a great influence on the training effect

If the rest is too long, the body will recover

Decreased central nervous system excitement

Heart rate also slowly decreases

Affect subsequent explosiveness

It takes time to restart the body

Reduce training effect

4.Exercise interval is too short

Too long is not good, too short is not good

The strength training set arranges the duration according to the training intensity

The general principle is that the greater the intensity, the longer the intermittent time

Divide strength training into three strengths

High intensity: Intermittent time is controlled at 2-5 minutes

Medium intensity: Intermittent time is controlled at 1-2 minutes

Low intensity: Intermittent time is generally around 30 seconds

During this time, you can move around or stand still

Don’t let the body stop immediately

Strength training breaks

2.Aerobic training breaks

Generally, aerobic exercise takes 30 minutes to achieve the fat burning effect

But we can’t ignore the pause time for the amount of exercise

When the exercise time is long, the heart rate is too fast to exceed the fat burning heart rate

The brain will be dizzy and will be dizzy

If you are running on a treadmill

Then you might fall

When exceeding the fat burning heart rate, you can rest for 30-60 seconds

Brisk walking is the most used way of rest after jogging

3.Rest after exercise

Rest after exercise is mainly stretching

Stretch to release muscle fatigue after exercise

Helps increase muscle elasticity

Reduce the soreness after training

Let the next training run normally

4.Scientific hydration after exercise

Scientific hydration is also part of the rest

Immediately after the exercise, pick up ice water and drinks

Drinking in one breath causes discomfort

It’s best to go to rest for about ten minutes
And slowly replenish the water
You should drink warm water and drink slowly in small amounts

You can drink some sports drinks during and after exercise

This can largely

Replenishes water and inorganic salts lost by the body

Let your body recover better

5.Scientific Diet After Exercise

Within 30 minutes to one hour after exercise

It’s the best time to consume energy without growing meat

Especially after high-intensity aerobic exercise

The body needs to add calories to restore energy and repair muscles

It is actually best to eat starchy food after exercise

You can get your energy back quickly

Eat some cereals, brown rice, etc., avoid cookies and cakes

Protein can repair muscles well
