However, it can be too much for high-intensity activity where you work out at high speeds. It\u2019s important to always listen to your body and pay attention to signs such as pain or fatigue. For most beginners, it would be best to start off with 20-30 minutes of easy walking or running on a treadmill to protect against injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, if you\u2019re comfortable throughout your workout and are more advanced, then 1 hour isn\u2019t too much for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2569&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Treadmill_Benefits\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/treadmill.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking or running on a treadmill is an excellent way to exercise and achieve the benefits that come with it.
