Treadmill Incline Workout: A 20 Minute Quickie

Workout #1: Incline Challenge

In this program, you will be using the incline feature to challenge your fitness level. The first time you do it, we recommend walking it to get used to the varying inclines. Here we go…

Minutes 0-3: Warm up at 1% incline.

Minutes 3-5: Increase your pace by at least .5 miles per hour. Take the incline up to 2%.

Minutes 5-7: Now you’re warmed up. Increase the speed to 4.0 for walkers and a challenging but manageable pace for runners. If you are running, it should not be at your top speed. You will stay at this pace for the next 12 minutes. Increase the incline to 3%.

Minutes 7-10: Same speed. Increase incline to 4%.

Minutes 10-13: Now you’re working hard! Increase incline to 5%.

Minutes 13-15: Last increase for this quick workout. Take the incline to 6%.

Minutes 15-17: Same speed and take the incline back to 4%.

Minutes 17-20: Cool down by reducing the incline to 1% and going back to your warm up speed.
