Simple ways to make use of the treadmill incline

When it comes to getting in shape and losing weight on a treadmill, the treadmill incline can be a useful tool. If used correctly. Most people do not use it correctly though; most beginners will simply hop on a treadmill at a high incline level and run at a fast speed. This is dangerous and inefficient especially when your body is not used it to it. It may also lead to injury and overtraining. Overtraining is something you should avoid if you are trying to lose weight as it weakens your immune system and which affects your training and fitness goals and efforts

The average incline on a treadmill is between zero and fifteen percent and for most beginner running at a zero percent incline on the treadmill is all that is needed to get in shape or improve their runs.

If you intend to run a marathon or a race , the incline on a treadmill may help but it should not be used until you are fit enough to run 10 minutes non stop on flat ground. The training on a treadmill incline should never be equated to training outdoors on hills as it does not have the uneven ground and elements that the outdoors has to offer. The treadmill incline does not offer the option for running downhill which by itself is a powerful weight loss workout

So I recommend you run outdoor on hills before you run on a treadmill incline. It is best to alternate between running a treadmill incline and running on hills outdoors. On days you can run outside do that, on days you can’t stay inside and run the treadmill incline

Done correctly, treadmill incline training can help you achieve your fitness, hill running and weight loss goals if used properly
