I want to thank all who responded to me yesterday trying to figure out other options for walking. Today Im off & since it's raining. I got on the treadmill this morning testing most speeds & inclines. I figured out how to add to cardio for more options of walking. I love to go outside & walk but on rainy days & winter coming in months, I need the treadmill. I spent time on most speeds & added them to the site. I love doing the inclines, you will feel your butt & stomach melt. I have a routine & switch off between regular walking then switch to incline..Its a good workout.
Hope this helps for all treadmill users.

I agree.
I keep hearing about how walking for a couple minutes fast, then slow down, then incline a lot, then a little etc. etc. is suppose to be great.
I'm trying it.
I got a work out like that from a magazine and I cut it out and taped it on my treadmill and I've been following it for a week now. Hopefully this will blow the 'plateau' I'm on apart!
I have not gained or lost any weight in 2 months now. wth?
If you want a copy of the work out let me know and I'll put in on here.
Good luck to you.0 -
Hi Suzieblues I would love to get a copy of that workout, I'm a treadmill user and I intensify my workout with intervals I walk, run, speed walk, and do inclines usually 5.5 incline. I just go back and forth between all of these to get a good workout..
Thanks Toni0 -
0 - 2 -- 2.5 - 0
2 - 4 -- 2.8 - 2
4 - 5 -- 3.0 - 4
5 - 7 -- 3.2 - 4
7 - 8 -- 3.5 - 8
8 - 10 -- 1.2 - 10
10 - 12 -- 3.5 - 10
12 - 13 -- 4.0 - 5
13 -15 -- 3.2 - 2
15 - 17 -- 1.2 - 10
17 -18 -- 1.2 - 2
18 -20 -- 1.2 - 2
20 - 21 -- 3.5 - 4
21 - 23 -- 1.2 - 10
23 - 25 -- 3.2 - 4
25 -26 -- 3.5 - 10
26 - 28 -- 3.0 - 6
28 - 30 -- 2.5 - 2
Okay, here's how the numbers work:
The first number is the minutes where you start, for example you see the first number is 0 then - 2. That means from 0 minute to 2 minutes; then the number after the 2 is the speed of your treadmill and the next number is the incline number.
SO the first row of numbers would mean: Start at 0, go 2 minutes, at 2.5 speed on a 0 incline.
The next row would mean: From the second minute to the forth minute, the speed is 2.8 and the incline is set on 2.
The next row would mean: From the forth minute to the fifth minute going 3.0 speed, and the incline at 4.
I know this is kind of a complicated way to do it so if you have any questions please let me know and I will try to make it clearer.
The whole thing will go for 30 minutes. (kicks my butt!)
I would suggest that you write it all down on a small piece of paper and put it near your treadmill so you can follow it. The magazine also had a plan if you did not have a treadmill; it was kind of the same thing only walking in place and squats etc.
Good luck to you0 -

Logging in my treadmill walking, I just put it against "walking" and the number e.g. 4.0 brisk pace. I have discovered however that my treadmill tells me I used up less calories than the Walking does on the exercise listing here.
Any ideas please.0
