DON’T HOLD THE HANDLES
A treadmill is
a great piece
of exercise
equipment.
But, like every
other piece of
fitness equip-
ment, a treadmill will yield maximal
results only when used correctly.
The most common misuse of a tread-
mill involves holding the handles.
Regardless of the user’s age, weight,
or goals, holding the handles on the
treadmill significantly reduces its ef-
fectiveness and user’s results.
Of importance to many treadmill
users is calorie burn. By holding
the handles during treadmill walk-
ing, the calorie burn is reduced by
20-25%. Holding the handles pro-
vides assistance to keep pace with
the treadmill belt. Instead, lower
the speed/grade and walk without
assistance. Then, you will be doing
all the required work without as-
sistance of the handles. In addition,
the calories-burned indicator will be
more accurate when walking/running
Fitness Assessment:

Assessment with a personal
exercise program including

hands-free. The estimate of calories
burned is based solely on the speed
and grade at which a treadmill runs.
It does not know if the user is helping
themselves by holding the handles.
Holding the treadmill handles does
not mimic actual walking. When
we walk outside, uphill or on flat,
we have nothing to hold and are
required to do all the work. Holding
the handles with the treadmill at a
10% incline essentially negates any
benefit from walking uphill. The body
is leaned back at an angle almost per-
pendicular to the angle of the tread-
mill. At that point, the walking might
just as well be flat. Walking up a hill
requires leaning forward into the hill.
Holding the treadmill handles pre-
vents walking with a natural stride.
Changes to gait and posture are
also side-effects of holding treadmill
handles. When holding the handles,
the stride is shortened to avoid foot
contact with the front cover on the
treadmill. Also, holding the handles
reduces the work done by the erector
spinae muscles. These muscles work

to hold the spine upright and stable
while walking. Holding, or leaning
on, the handles can actually lead to
weakening of the erector spinae.
And, because holding the handles
helps keep you stable, balance skills
may actually get worse since they
are not consistently and adequately
challenged.
When walking, jogging, or running on
a treadmill, holding the handles can
actually cause a reduction in exercise
results. Assistance gained by holding
treadmill handles alters the way we
walk or run, reduces the amount of
work we do, and can actually cre-
ate injury and muscle weakness. If
necessary, reduce the treadmill speed
and incline so you are able to walk
without assistance of the handles.
