Beginner’s Guide: How to Use a Treadmill Safely & Effectively

For fitness beginners, weight-loss starters, and home-workout newcomers, the treadmill is one of the safest and easiest tools to build a consistent exercise routine. But knowing how to use it correctly matters just as much as having the right equipment.

This short guide explains how beginners can start treadmill training safely — and how the O’Yeet TM-AP18Y Incline Foldable Treadmill naturally supports y, more comfortable workouts.

1. Start Slow: Warm Up Properly

Before increasing speed or incline, begin with 3–5 minutes of gentle walking (2.5–3 mph). This helps activate muscles and protects your joints.

2. Use Incline Instead of Speed

For beginners, the safest way to increase intensity is through incline, not sprinting.

Benefits of incline walking:

●  burns more calories

●  reduces knee impact

●  feels safer than runningThe TM-AP18Y offers adjustable incline, allowing users to challenge themselves gradually.

3. A Simple 15–20 Minute Beginner Workout

● Warm-up: 3 minutes, flat walking

● Incline walk: 10 minutes at 3–4 mph, incline 3–5%

● Optional light jog: 1–2 minutes

● Cool-down: 2–3 minutes slow walking

4. Keep Proper Form

To avoid fatigue or injury:

✔ Look forward

✔ Relax shoulders

✔ Let arms swing naturally

✔ Don’t grip the rails

5. Progress Gradually

Increase either speed or incline — not both at once.

Add a little more time each week and listen to your body.The TM-AP18Y’s simple controls make small, safe adjustments easy.
