A week ago I made a post about tips for using gym machines. Similar to this post, but concentrating on the treadmill and on walking, Wendy Bumgardner has written an article on about.com:walking that teaches walkers what NOT to do when practicing on a treadmill:

1. Getting onto a moving treadmill
2. Holding onto the handrail or console
3. Hunching shoulders and looking down
4. Leaning forward
5. Overstriding
6. Not using your arms
7. Not knowing your treadmill features
8. Going too fast
9. Not Challenging yourself
