fitness Do you do stretching before climbing on treadmill?

[Dr. A]

A lot of people do not realise that climbing a hill or running on a hill is an exerting exercise that requires your muscle to strain and get cramps. It is therefore vital to do stretching exercises before embarking on such activity. Do you stretch before climbing on treadmill?

 

[Kross]

I don't usually stretch before climbing on treadmills. I always run every morning to stretch by leg muscles. There is no chance that I could have muscle tear from a treadmill exercise.

Do you stretch before climbing on treadmill?

No. I rarely do static stretching for my legs prior to getting on the treadmill.

I feel that a 3-5 minute brisk walk is enough to loosen up for a power walk (at an incline) or run.

I usually stretch afterwards, though, just as something to do to cool down.
