If you're new to exercise, it's important to start slow and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. Below is a simple, beginner-friendly treadmill workout that will help you build endurance, improve cardiovascular fitness, and start burning calories.

Daily Routine for Beginners (30 Minutes)

The following treadmill workout is broken into three key sections: warm-up, main workout, and cool-down. If you're just getting started, aim to do this workout 3-4 times a week. As you get more comfortable, you can increase the duration or intensity of the workout.

1. Warm-Up (5 Minutes)

Warming up before you begin your treadmill workout is essential to prepare your muscles and joints for exercise, as well as to prevent injury. Here's how to do it:

• Start by walking at a slow pace (2.5 - 3.0 mph) for 3-5 minutes.
• Keep your posture upright and engage your core as you walk.
• As you warm up, focus on your breathing and prepare yourself mentally for the workout ahead.

2. Main Workout (20 Minutes)

The main portion of your workout will focus on walking, alternating between different speeds and inclines. This is where you can start building endurance and burning calories. If you're new to treadmill workouts, you can start with a simple walking workout and gradually incorporate intervals of light jogging as you progress.

Cool-Down (5 Minutes)

Cooling down helps your heart rate return to its resting state and reduces muscle soreness after your workout.

• Walk slowly at 2.0 - 2.5 mph for 5 minutes.
• Focus on deep breathing and stretching your muscles, especially your calves, hamstrings, and lower back.
