Walking on incline blasts calories

I just tried this today for the first time and holy moly you were right! Burning calories left right & center!

Def got to alternate it with strength training and eat enough protein so that way I'm not losing muscle, just fat

That's awesome! I'm going to try that at the gym. I usually do the elliptical but I'll try this next time

I've done this in the past...just to make 5K's easier when racing.

I have arthritis and sometimes the pain travels up my back. I'm still trying to find the perfect workout but maybe I will try this at a smaller incline.

I did this regularly at the gym during the winter. It does wonders!

I will be giving this a shot

I'll have to try this out! Thanks for sharing!!

I walk on an incline because running is harder on my ankles. I went to the gym with a friend and she was so upset because she ran her heart out while I walked uphill, and then saw the calorie counter on my treadmill and realized I had actually burned more than her

Thanks!

This also will get your but firmed up and you don't go fast at all on it

Yeah I shaved off 1.5 minutes on my 5k today and I am hoping doing these inclines will help me survive the 12k with a big hill in a couple weeks.

Wow i have to try this

Going to try!

I always do a 2.0 incline but now I'm going to go for 3 lol

I love the step machine!! @svetlana

Yes incline works wonders!! Burns calories and not to mention gets your ass into an amazing shape!! I alternate between treadmill and elliptical. On elliptical i typically do 20 incline at 3-7 resistance alternating resistance every 2 minutes for an hour

The key to inclines is to not hold on. 15 might be a lot for most people. You can work your way up to it.

There was a body building group who stressed the overall benefits of Incline walking for cardio work.

Here is my calorie burning treadmill 30 minute workout

@Brenda I might have to try that one today!

As KittyPrawn said, the key to incline is to not hold on and I doubt most people who aren't already in fantastic shape can do a level 15 incline without holding on.
