Wanted to use it actually for Hiit sprints since I’m doing it on the normal treadmill and always have to change the speed. It’s annoying that way so I hope that curved one is gonna solve that issue
On the ground he demonstrates the importance of foot striking at a 6 o’clock position, then gets on treadmill and consistently strikes ahead of hips at a 5 o’clock-ish position. The mechanics rely on the treadmill curvature in a way that forces the user to strike ahead of their hips, reinforcing this bad strike position. When I’ve used these treadmills this is exactly the feel I have experienced: unnaturally forced to strike ahead of hips.
I tried running on a Draxfit curved treadmill today and it seems much more difficult and intensive, when compared to a powered one. I could barely do 10 minutes ,but I don't run much. I have to start here. Is it supposed to be harder?
You're right. Its not a Woodway its a Technogym Skillmill. Totally brain darted as we talked about it which is why we titled it "Curve Treadmill" We appreciate you looking out!
Ok I see now why if I'm walking the thing starts speeding up like crazy. The more you lean the higher the faster it goes. Hope your camera man has learned how to take proper shots by now, he kept cutting your feet off the shot.
Curved treadmills might be great for a short fitness workout, but they will not help at all with conditioning for actual road running. I agree with your point on where your foot should strike the ground, but a curved treadmill will not help this optimal position. By the nature of it, you can overstride / heel strike and not be punished for bad form as it will correct the overstride. It will negative affect your gait if you use this and then recreate the same motion on flat ground. Biomechanically it promotes bad form and will not help natural running. Recreational runners should focus on zero drop or barefoot footwear to optimise their natural running style and avoid heel striking. A curved treadmill will help for a cardio workout but should not be used as a training method to translate to road running on flat ground.
Absolutely, by "design" in order for the conveyor to roll you must strike uphill & heel down in order to be able to "pull" the conveyor toward you to power/drive the conveyor motion. I don't think this machine should claim to be superior to actual running or a training method for actual running. This is a calorie burning machine that forces extra effort per step. So, the key is with this extra resistance how long can you go and how fast. That takes experimenting to find the right intensity and duration.
Curved treadmill are the worst. No one can use them for any length of time. They are clunky, heavy, expensive, and users stop using them. They're terrible. While you have variable control with a motorized treadmill, you cannot run any distance on a manual curved treadmill. Too expensive as well.
I appreciate this feedback Jim. Yep, sometimes curved treadmills may be worse for people when they can just run outside. The one we bought for the gym is pretty light, easy to move and we bought it used for half the price it sold at. Motored treadmills tend to need servicing more frequently for the motor and may cost more in the long run so keep that in mind. We've had athletes have great and experiences with both motored and manual curved treadmills. Give it 5 more years the price may come down a bit. Thank you again man!
I disagree I find it excellent and gives a more intense workout than a motorized treadmill. And I can go for long duration here. I find the curved treadmill feels more natural, like being outside
When I was gymming, I felt like a curved treadmill was the real deal. Went as slow or as fast as I did, and it felt like a harder cardio session because I used my own weight to move. How anyone can use a motorized treadmill of any kind is beyond me.
Curved treadmills are used for different workouts though, not acclimatising for road running. I find they are great for me with my joint issues and also for getting up to speed quickly (stop/start) HIIT workouts and of that nature
Have this machine in my gym. Never see anyone using it. Thanks for the education!!

@@bloodmoon2135 Let me know how it goes. I'm building my stamina on the electric treadmill an do hope this is a great addition.
Take your time with it!
If they have the ones that can go incline that be intense!
Same
Its the most underrated piece of equipment EVER. Only I use it in the gym 😂
i own this treadmill at home. My curved treadmill is my new favorite piece of my gym
This is my favourite cardio in my gym!!!
Think I need to give this another try. Lasted seconds my first and only time. 😂
Excellent demonstration.. many people do it wrong, i guess it takes some practice to get in tune with it
It definitely takes practice

0:05 Love them treadmeals!! 😋
I caught that AFTER I uploaded it. It is on the internet now.
GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you!

What does he even saying? Someone explain please😢
1:56 I’m not falling backwards... nope
😅😅😅
Thank you. This cleared many misconceptions.
Hope it helps! More to come.
Dude, that is a Technogym Skillmill, not a Woodway.

আসসালামুয়ালাইকুম খুব চমৎকার হয়েছে আপনার বাড়ি এসে দেখে গেলাম
💪
you keep saying it's a woodway treadmill while you're on a techogym skillmill
You are correct. Should of said manual treadmill. We do love woodways though.
Is it good or bad? Whats your feeling?
Ok I see now why if I'm walking the thing starts speeding up like crazy. The more you lean the higher the faster it goes. Hope your camera man has learned how to take proper shots by now, he kept cutting your feet off the shot.
True form is little bit cheaper
OOoooo I appreciate the tip!
its a tread mill, not a tread meal ;-)
TreadMEAT!

It sucks. Get a really nice standard treadmill for the cost of this junk

I also disagree, I love the curve treadmill at my gym. I feel a better workout, lost weight, built endurance. It’s awesome
