Jogging vs. Walking on incline (treadmill)



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Banded 3/27 and at 22 lbs weight loss. Amping up my workouts (as well as focusing in calories) to amp up my progress. Been doing quick 20 minute jogs before work but one of my coworkers recoed longer incline walks for weight loss. Thoughts? Makes sense as I actually find it harder to walk on an incline than jog flat! However jogging just seems like more if a workout. Thoughts?

You should never jog completely flat on a treadmill say my trainer even a small incline helps you work harder , find for me personally I do better walking on an incline then running period, I usually do hill intervals and for me I lose weight and tone better

I don't do jogging, my knees will not allow it, but I always walk on the treadmill at an incline.

I can't go too fast, but I like to use the incline to burn more calories. Since it is a cardio workout, do you have a way to monitor your heart rate to keep it in the ideal range for your age?

Only thing with the incline is that the sides of left heel start to bother me after awhile--think I may have a few sore tendons from over doing it when I started.
