What is a good incline number for a woman who walks on a treadmill. Right now I have it on 3 and it goes up to 10.

    I think its more of what you feel comfortable with. When I'm on the treadmill, I go up and down... I may briskly walk with an incline of 5 or 6 and switch to running at an incline of like 2 or 3. If you feel like its too much, then it may be. I would just play with it and see what you feel works for you.

    Good luck! =)

    I walk on a 10% incline on the interval setting with my highs being about 3.3ish and the low being around 1.8ish and walk for 30 minutes. It really gets my heart rate up and makes me sweat. I'm a newbie at this though :o)
