Hands Off For Optimum Treadmill Effectiveness

"Letting go" now has new meaning. According to an article in the American Institute for Cancer Research newsletter, hands-free is the way to go when walking on a treadmill. There are a number of benefits to letting go; for one thing, you burn 20% more calories because you are using all of your weight on the track. That means a person who burns 80 calories per mile holding on to the treadmill handles will burn 100 calories per mile without holding on.

Also, going hands-free will improve posture, balance, coordination, and could possibly help to avoid painful problems such as wrenching muscles and joints or overstretching back muscles. (And remember, for optimum calorie-burn, increase the incline...you'll burn 10% more calories for every percent incline.)
