Calling ALL Treadmill Incline WALKERS.....

[Columbus]

Hell if I will ever ever run (unless I am chased by a big ass bear!) and the elliptical is ok, but I like reading a good MM mag, and walking on the treadmill...I sometimes do 3.0speed at 12%grade, uping the speed a notch every 5 minutes, 3.1,3.2,3.3 etc


other days I do 7.0% grade and 3.7 speed.....up the grade the same way as above........?..........would YOU consider this mild? Mod? heavy? Do you have an alternate routine? Just curious....thanks!

Nah thats about what I do. While bulking right now..I usually do 3.7 speed at 5-5.5 incline and that keeps me around 130 which is 65% for me.

Eliptical level 7-11 one day - next day tread 3.5 or 3.6 with 6.5-9 incline

i thik that is about right,i would consider it moderate, and the most effective way to lose weight without breaking your balls and running(i hate to run)

[steve0]

i do 15% incline at a 2.2-2.8 speed

[Liftnainez]

I do 15 incline at 3.0-3.5 for 30 min usually in the AM

[Columbus]

cutting or bulking? I still do 20 minutes 3.7 and 8.5, but I think It's burning me out........its all about your diet, I know that, but I think it kick starts my hunger/metabolism for the entire day!

incline of about 9-10 w/ a speed of 3-4 gets my heart rate around 130. i do a good 45 min there, thn some stair climber

IMO a brisk walk on the incline treadmill is the best way to burn fat and retain lean muscle. I spend the first 5 min. on it warming up at a 8% incline at 3.0 mph, then I up it to a full 15% incline at 3.5 mph.

I try to hit 4 times a week 60 minutes, first 10 nice and easy warm up then 50 at whatever speed/elevation combo it takes to keep my HR at about 120-130. Am bulking right now, so this mostly just helps keep me from becoming a total pig.

60 minutes 4x a week is nuts, but to each his own.....gauge yur diet bro...thats where it lies....shit, when u cut, youre gonna have to do 3 hours a day!!!!!!

I used to do 40-45, it did nothing for me for fat loss, I found 60 minutes to be my magic number. But if you look at my HR I am clearly not working it too hard, I just try to raise my HR up a little and maintain it for extended periods of time, not really huffing and puffing.

Yes I do light walk on incline treadmill as well.

It's perfect and it tones up your legs as well.

I go up to 3.6 at 15% incline for 25 minutes.
