Ok guys, sooo I enjoy jogging/walking on the treadmill but I need help! For some reason every few min the machine beeps for a heart rate so I gotta keep putting my hands on the bars which I try to avoid. It's getting very annoying bcuz when I jog it makes me keep my hands on the sensor bars, if I ignore it, it will slow down. Am I doing something wrong? Please help me!!!

    It sounds like you might be selecting a heart rate mode or workout. If you know the brand and model of the treadmill, you could look up the user's manual. If that's a gym treadmill, perhaps there's someone at the gym you could ask.

    Can you explain to me how to set it up when I first get on the treadmill? So I won't have to keep holding on the bars? I just wanna jog freely

    That's a setting specific to your treadmill. Can you contact the manufacturer to see if there's a way to bypass it?

    I don't know the specifics of your treadmill, but if there's a "start" button, you might be able to just use it in manual mode by pressing the "start" button to begin your workout.

    If I were you, though, I'd ask someone at the fitness center - they're probably more familiar with the specific machine than a bunch of strangers on the internet.
