Is Treadmill Incline Good For You?

Using a treadmill's incline setting can help you achieve your fitness goals in a more efficient manner. It is important to know the effects on joints and muscles prior to increasing the incline level.

Start with a 0% incline to warm up, and then increase it to 2-3 percentage. This incline will mimic the pace of a quick grocery trip.

Increased Calories Boiled

Walking uphill or running on a treadmill burns more calories than on a flat surface. The incline mimics running or walking uphill, which requires more muscle effort. It also burns more calories especially if the handrails are held or you use the treadmill's built-in resistance system to do strength training.

The incline feature of the treadmill can also add the variety of your workout and prevent boredom. It is important to start with a low incline, and then gradually increase it as you get more comfortable. This reduces the risk of injury.
