with the operation of the electric treadmill, such as starting, stopping, and speed adjustment. Start the
device at a low speed (1.6 to 3.2 kilometers per hour) and slowly increase the speed to 3-5 km/h while
standing upright and looking ahead. Maintain this speed for about 10 minutes and then stop gradually.
**Exercise:**

and incline. Do not start your exercises until you feel comfortable with the controls.

Gradually increase the speed and incline for a sustained 30-minute workout. Be patient and consistent
with your exercises.

• Korte Workouts: Start with a 2-minute warm-up at 3 mph, then gradually increase the speed
every 2 minutes, ending with a 4-minute cool-down.

speed during a one-hour TV program, with speed increases during commercial breaks.
**Training frequency:**

intensity of the training by changing the speed and incline.
