There are many different types of workouts that you can take part in while using your treadmill. There are all kinds to choose from, such as light workouts that are similar to warm up routines but are quite a bit longer, mainly to build your endurance and get you used to the idea of working out. In fact, a light workout is considered to be your best foot to start out on if you are a beginner. A light workout involves a medium pace, like speed walking pace, and usually no incline, you continue this workout for over an hour to make it worth your while. After a week or two your body will get very used to the light workout so that forces you to upgrade. As a precaution you then start with a warm up which involves stretching and a short, ten to twenty minute version of the light workout.

The second type of workout you can do on your treadmill once you and your body are familiar with exercising in general is a medium workout. This workout involves starting at a medium pace and working up to a faster pace day by day. You will begin to see your body getting used to the medium pace that you start out on. Once you see that you are getting used to it you must continue the medium paced workout for a few days and then move on to a fast paced workout. Start out by medium running and then increase your workout to full throttle running. Just remember that the point of working out on a treadmill and being successful at it is to keep a continual pace. Try not to over exert yourself by running at top speed because you will not be able to continue such a pace for very long, or at least not until you are a very advanced user.

After you are successful at training yourself at getting used to a fast paced treadmill workout you can begin to make your workouts a lot more fun. You can add the use of hand and ankle weights to help with minor muscle building. There are other types of workouts that you can do that are called phasing workouts. Phasing workouts are interesting because it involves phasing in and out of fast and slow paced workout speeds. A popular phasing working is called 10-4. In the 10-4 phase workout you work out for forty minutes total, in sections of 10 minutes each. On the first 10 minute phase you run at a medium pace for the whole 10 minutes. Then you phase out of the medium pace and increase to a full speed pace for another 10 minutes. Then you repeat the first phase as well as the second phase, thus giving you a proper 10-4 workout. Just remember to always do a warm up session before any type of workout and you will be less likely to get an injury.
