The benefits of treadmill exercise routines are many!
Running on a treadmill allows you to track your progress by recording how many miles you walked and how many calories you burned in those miles.
Many of the new ones are computerized and can be preprogrammed to compute your heart rate, calories burned, miles accomplished, and health age just to name a few. You can set them to walk at an incline which helps to burn calories faster.
