Setup

Clip the safety key to your clothes. Walk for five minutes first, then raise the speed.

Steps

1. Run in the middle of the belt with short, light steps.
2. Look ahead, not at your feet.
3. Set a slope of about one per cent if you want it to feel like running outdoors.
4. Walk for a few minutes before stopping.

Breathing

Breathe in a steady rhythm. At an easy pace you can still say a short sentence.

Where you feel it

In your legs and breathing.

Common mistakes

• Running near the back of the belt.
• Changing speed with big jumps.
