About this exercise

Running on a manual treadmill is a self-powered cardio workout where your own effort drives the belt, building cardiovascular endurance and engaging the legs more than a motorized treadmill. The curved deck lets you set the pace through your stride.

How to Perform

  • Step onto the treadmill and hold the handrails for balance
  • Position your feet toward the front of the curved deck to start the belt moving
  • Begin jogging, letting your foot strikes drive the belt
  • Lean slightly forward from the ankles to control your pace
  • Pump your arms and maintain a steady running rhythm
  • Speed up or slow down by adjusting your stride and foot position
  • Continue for the desired time or distance
