Treadmill Incline Walk

Set-up

• Start the treadmill at a slow walking pace and step on.
• Clip on the safety key if there is one.
• Raise the incline gradually to the level you can sustain.

How to do it

1. Walk at a steady pace for the prescribed time.
2. Lower the incline and speed for the last minute.

• Choose an incline you can manage without holding on.

Common mistakes

• Leaning on the handrails, which takes away much of the work.
• Setting the incline so steep you have to lean back.
