I’ve mentioned the importance of varying your time on the treadmill through different inclines and speeds, but it is also beneficial to vary how your move through space. Walking and running are basically the same movement jut at different speeds, which means they work the same muscles. To target different muscles using the treadmill, you must move in a different way. This can be achieved by walking backwards, doing asking lunges, or my favorite option- the side shuffle. As with walking or running, you can change how much of a cardiovascular challenge you und take by playing with the incline and speed of your side shuffle. It’s important to keep your upper body as straight as possible to maintain proper form. I always feel side shuffles most in my hips, and it works muscles that are typically not used as much while running. I have found that since I added side shuffles into my workout more frequently that I have less hip pain when running which is always a plus.
