Muscles Worked

Primary: quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves, cardiovascular system

How to do it

Set treadmill to desired speed and incline. Maintain an upright posture, land with a midfoot strike, and keep your gaze forward. Adjust speed and incline to control intensity.

Form Tips

Don't hold the handrails — this reduces the caloric cost. A 1% incline closely mimics outdoor running.
