Daily Aha! w/ Dr. Oz

Daily Aha!
Treadmills and elliptical machines don’t work out your butt.
The belt movement and structure of both machines enables each leg to help the other a bit too much—the hip flexors of your right leg take the pressure off your left glute and vice versa. That leads to “glute laziness.” You don’t need to put a moratorium on treadmills and ellipticals, but if you use them exclusively, you’ll miss out on toning those buns! Instead, or in between, train on firm ground, hills or stairs, and when you run on the treadmill, incline it 5 to 7 percent to engage your booty.
