FIND OUT MORE ABOUT RUNNING ON THE TREADMILL

Running on the treadmill has many health benefits. What’s more, if you’re recovering from an injury, you’ll be able to rediscover the pleasures of running on a cushioned treadmill, while avoiding the impact of a hard surface that can traumatize your knees.

Today’s treadmills are well-equipped, allowing you to combine the pleasure of running while watching your favorite morning show, browsing on your tablet, getting some fresh air with a built-in fan, as well as monitoring your heart rate and memorizing your programs and history for even greater motivation.

All in all, the treadmill offers a host of advantages that make it an indispensable training tool for those looking to maintain a regular fitness routine, without depending on the weather. Its ability to cushion impacts is particularly beneficial for those recovering from illness, or who simply wish to preserve their joints, while enjoying the cardiovascular benefits of running.

The technological aspect of modern treadmills adds another level of appeal to this equipment. With the ability to watch your favorite show, browse your tablet, enjoy refreshment with a built-in fan and even track your training data, running on a treadmill becomes a complete and motivating experience.

So whether you’re looking to get fit, lose weight, or simply stay active, the treadmill is an option to consider. It gives you the freedom to train at your own pace, according to your personal goals, while offering the comfort and convenience of staying at home. So why not lace up your sneakers and start your journey to better fitness with your treadmill?

How to calculate the number of calories burned running on the treadmill

The result displayed is expressed in Kcal and is calculated from the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task). The MET for each activity is the result of statistical data and cannot therefore be interpreted as an exact calculation, but rather as an estimate taking into account the MET value and the ratio between the time spent on an activity and the weight of the individual.

For example: the MET value for running on a treadmill (at an average pace of around 8km/h) is 8. This means that a person running on a treadmill at this pace consumes 8 times as much energy as they would at rest. Of course, this varies with the level of intensity, as we’ll see below. The more intensive the pace, the greater the expenditure!

MET values for different running intensity levels

  • Treadmill running (8k/h) MET = 8
  • Treadmill running (9.5k/h) MET = 10.5
  • Treadmill running (13k/h) MET = 13

Discover the detailed formula to calculate your daily energy expenditure while running on the treadmill

Consumption in Kcal per minute = (MET*3.5*Weight in kilos)/200

This gives for a 60-kilo person running on a treadmill at 8km/h for 30 minutes:
Consumption in Kcal per minute = (8*3.5*60)/200 = 8.4 Kcal/min
So for 30 minutes = 8.4*30 = 252 kcal for 30 minutes
