Question #34: treadmill questions!!!?
i use the treadmill when i exercise, but i walk for an hour and sometimes more, am i getting enough exercise as opposed to running? also, what's the faster way of having toned calfs and legs using the treadmill and how long does it take? lastly, what should i do with my arms while i'm walking on the treadmill? i don't have those weight things, so what are alternatives?best answer to the most helpful one!!!!

Answer: You're doing plenty of time if you're doing that say three times a week. If you are walking as fast or hard as you need to to get your heart rate up, then it should be as good as running. Remember though to warm up and cool down. Very important. I don't know if your treadmill has an incline but if it does, your calves will definitely feel the burn on that. If you don't want to buy weights, hold a couple of water bottles full of water or sand.Edit: With the weights or water bottle, do some movements with your arms (provided you can keep your balance well), such as side laterals, arm curls, overhead extensions while you walk. Say 15 to 20 of each movement, 2 to 3 times total.

Question #38: Exercise treadmill troubleshooting help please!?
Hi! I was running on my treadmill when it suddenly caused me to almost fall as it felt like the walking belt was skipping or hitting the side. I stopped quick and noticed that the walking belt had shifted to the side and my manual reads that you use the allen wrench on the rear bolts at the end of the treadmill, you can then adjust the belt and center it, then back with the wrench to tighten the bolts back up. I did just that and carefully not to overtighten the walking belt like it said. I tested it and ran again, I noticed while running that the belt was shifting again slowly but from the front of the treadmill or by the "hood" of it and not the rear of the treadmill. I did call the service place but until they come out (it'll cost a fortune), has anybody had an experience like this? Do you think it maybe needs a new belt? After adjusting & centering the belt a few times, only the front continues to shift and you can't adjust the belt from the front with the wrench. Thank u!

Answer: keep playing with it-- it is a matter of fine tuning the thing with the allen wrench. I used to have one and it was a pain but I finally got it calibrated correctly.
