I have a good laugh watching the folks at my gym walking on a huge incline while hanging onto the front of the treadmill for dear life...

This is why many incline walkers gain weight. They see huge cal numbers on the read out and think they burned that while holding on.

So what happens? They eat based on thinking they burned that amount of cals and actually go into a surplus. When you hold on, you only burn 30% of what you think you did.

Incline cardio is THE BEST fatloss hack

Does incline walking add muscle/ weight?

its a different exerxise… the laid back hold activates the glutes in the end range closer to the flexed state (like in a hip thrust), while the uphill walk activates the glutes more in the stretched state, like in a lunge… try and feel the difference for yourself. obviously the laidback trend didnt come from any kind of athletes, but from some booty aera fitness girls who want to include the glute thing in their cardio… but its legit for that purpose… try and rethink the video

Same on the stairmasters they r bending over, breaking their back at the same time holding for life while walking the stairs but its just not the same effort or effectiveness

Am scared of falling thats why I hold on

I saw a man in the gym on the highest incline, clinging from the screen with what looked like his entire weight. I don’t mean that unkindly, it just seems really inefficient

Bad advice. Regardless if you hold onto the handles ur still moving your body and burning calories which is the entire purpose of doing incline walking. Not using the bars puts a ton more stress on my feet and makes the walk feel more akward because ur technically walking "uphill" but you have no source of gravity other than the belt and the handles. Sure you can go slow do an icline for an hour at half height and never lose weight or do an intense 30 minute session with high height and good pace with the bars and you wont hate it as much with the same results.
