There are several ways to improve the number of calorie burned during a single training sessions. Each treadmill comes with 2 main controls: the speed and the incline. If the speed button id used very often we cannot say the same thing for incline.

Push the button that control the incline and you will burn more fat have stronger leg muscle and have a better fitness level.

Running on an inclined belt is harder even if you do this at a slower pace. A study that was made in the Georgia University discovered that exercising on a inclined belt activates 9-10% more muscle and another study made in UK revealed that a 1% incline require the same energy spent on an outside track.

Here is a treadmill workout where with the belt inclined at different values.

1. Walk at slow pace for five minutes. Do also a 2 minute stretching sessions.

2. Now elevate your treadmill at 1% and run at a easy pace for 1 mile. After that raise the incline to 2% and run for 3/4 of a mile.

3. Raise the incline again. This time to 3%. Run for half a mile.

4. Make the workout harder and raise the elevation to 4% and run for another half of mile.You reached the top of the hill.

5. Start lowering the incline in the same order you raise it and running the same distance.For 3% run 1/2 of a mile, for 2% run 3/4 of a mile and for 1% run a full mile.

6. Finish up with a cool down session and don’t forget to stretch.

For this workout you should keep the intensity at an easy level. Lower the pace while you increase the belt incline.
