  • I would do interval running.

    Have the treadmill at a running pace for 1-5minutes then slow it down to a brisk walk for 5 mins and repeat for at least half an hour in total.

    5 minutes running is fairly intense so i wouldnt recommend it straight off the bat. You need to work up to it.

    :)

    Good luck losing those kilos!

    I can't run for a ton of time so I pretty much run for like 5 mins at 6mph then I speed walk then I run a bit, then I slow down to 3mph. And everything is at an incline.
  • Is 4.5 mph really considered walking? I can't actually walk at that pace and have to jog. Just curious...

    I am slightly addicted to the treadmill and I, too, love interval training. I have downloaded plenty of treadmill workouts from itrain.com which are extremely motivating and help deter any boredom. They have several interval workouts that I love! Good luck!
    what is itrain.com?

    High impact interval training is a huge calorie burner.

    Go for 1 minute at full speed (as fast as you can go and make it through), then slow down to walk for 90 seconds. Repeat to exhaustion.

    for me, 4.5 mph is a walk/almost jog...but I am 5'8 1/2 and have long legs...I have friends who run at 4.5 mph because they are shorter or just starting out with a running program. It doesn't really matter--just moving is great! :)

    High Interveral Intesity Training is the best way to have a killer calorie burn session in as much as 30 minutes. Its also great for your heart to! There are plenty of good HIIT programs online :) Hope it this helps!

    I attribute most of my weight loss (exercise) to just walking on the treadmill at an incline. I started at about 5° and increased 1/2° every couple of weeks until I hit 15° for an hour at a time.
