Q. I'm planning to use a treadmill for weight loss. How should I approach it from a Traditional Korean Medicine perspective?
It's important to check your body condition before starting exercise. In TKM, if you have a Spleen Deficiency (biheo) or Phlegm-Fluid (dameum) constitution, the same exercise can have different effects. Generally, weeks 1–2 are a short adaptation period, and weeks 3–4 are extended as the main period. If your body feels heavy or swollen, exercise alone may have limitations.
