You walk at 5 miles per hour? That's a beginners running speed.

I can't run. So I walk\power walk full incline. What you also got to look at is that incline will be pushing for a higher heart rate. So you'll be burning more by that. Then going 5 days of 30 minutes, say for a month, of high incline and it will really tone the legs.
An easier walk is at 3.0. But if you wanna go heavy, switch up between 3.3-3.5.

If I walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a speed of between 3 and 3.5 mph (varies during workout) at an incline of 3... it tells me about 360 calories. But, i do hold on for alot of it

Evening/morning (depending where you are) ... Anybody had any success with walking on a high incline rather than running a low one .. I read this uses more calories . I've burnt off 700 today doing this but would like to tone too so any feedback would be great xxxx

Walking up an incline is easier than running. Ask anyone that's out of shape. Why would something that's easier to do burn more calories?

I could have got this wrong but i think it's to do with the fact your using more muscles to walk up an incline and using muscles burns more calories ... Running is more cardio .. Anybody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong X

Similar to how I hear people say that cold water will boil faster than warm, it's highly unlikely that an easier activity burns more than the harder activity. Walking, incline or not, is a perfectly fine activity, just don't fool yourself into thinking it's something that it's not.

Well... It does...

Sorry, not true:
