Should You Run Or Walk On Treadmill Inclines? [Orangetheory Workout]

In this video, I talk about the importance of practicing Power Walking at steep inclines.

In incline walking I finally found a cardio exercise that I can do and enjoy. My back, hip and knee problems prevented me from doing prettymuch anything else. But incline walking works, it's fun and, god do I feel a burn in my glutes and calves.

Shout out to all the power walkers out there I'm with you, I power walk and I'm tell you a one minute all out at 4.5mph and a 15% incline is killer

Thank you for making this! It really helps! I’m a PW currently because I’m not sure I could jog for more than 1-2 minutes. I can definitely tell I’ve become so much stronger in my legs etc.

Ever since I started using the treadmill I have at home I couldn't jog at all lol. I've always done powerwalking because I still get my muscles to work very well with less exhaustion. It's been really good for someone like me who has back problems and can't do heavy exercise. Thanks for the video!

I started about 1 year ago on this training and was overweight. Now I have lost over 10 kg,
but It was difficult at start. I can do now at an incline setting @ 15 an a speed 7.3-7.5, I burn over 850 calories in 1 hour. (7 km)...btw I am 59. I was a size 85cm waist, now 79cm. Believe me it works!

I'm 248lbs and if I run at 8 mph on 2% incline for 2 miles straight, I burn 425 calories. But if I walk on 10% incline for 2 miles at 3mph I burn 604. It's the REAL so mad I ever used my treadmill to run.

I'm just recovering from a knee injury, but I am not quite able to run without feeling a "slight" impact pain.
So, I tried "just walking" on a treadmill, which I would normally think is "too easy".
Set max incline 15% and 3.0 mph for 60 minutes. I surprised myself to be able to hit an HR reading hit 181 bpm at finish.
A big thing I notice running with:
a.) Hands swinging freely: HR=176 bpm
b.) Hands on hips or on head(immobile): HR=181 bpm
c.) Hands on the bar or top of the treadmill panel, leaning back and swaying my hips: HR can drop 30-40 bpm.
Those stats were 2nd day of doing this treadmill workout, previously day I did 13% for 3.0 mph and 60 minutes.
From the previous day I felt absolutely no impact pain in my knee joints.

Also, normally when I run it would take quite a bit of speed 6.8-7.6 mph to bring up effort in 170+ hr area.
That's about my 2 mi all out or 5k pace endurance limit that I cannot sustain for longer than 25 minutes.
So, to be able to hold that HR intensity level with just a walking motion is amazing.
I'm pretty sure if I can overcome the boredom and use a water bottle, treadmill durations of 1.5 to 2.0 hrs might be possible.

I'm calling bs at anybody powerwalking 4.5 at a 13-15% incline for 30 mins.

[bribricotin]

I love this im def a jogger but i will now start power walking on a higher incline.

[nicejitkaur]

I love brisk walking on treadmill I use to weight 75+with the help of just brisk walking everday from past few months without any diet now i weight 56.5, it was really hard for me when I first started ..from walking with speed of 3 with no incline but now I can easily walk up to speed of 7.5 with 7+_incline so keep trying trust me if I can lose weight anyone am an do that too 😊

[VirtualBlitzKrieg]

Thing to mention go at the speed you can power walk at without holding on for support I see so many people go faster but have to hold on for life. I can respectfully do 3.4 mph without holding on then I do jogging intervals at 5.2. Jogging seems to be tough the longest I can jog for is 2.5 minutes at 5.2 15 incline

[rikm]

this will be super helpful for tomorrow's hell week workout! thank you :)

[reecejones]

I normally do 5-10 mins at 19% on speed 4.5 then drop to 15% at 5 for as long as I can, usually 10 mins then drop to 10% at 5.5 and burns easily 500 calls in 30 mins

[Djolt]

Thank you so much for providing this insightful video; I'm going to definitely give this a shot since I do climb on roofs for work and this will help me with getting used to pitched inclines!

[grafilth]

I stopped doing any cardio because I was always super out of breath from running, so I just recently started walking on an incline and my heart rate gets to a similar level.

[hicarus]

I do incline 15 and 4.3 speed for 56 minutes I burn 1000 calories

[wongxinhao]

I do 7km/h at 14% incline for 30 mins when I cant do my usual cardio. I swim 5 days a week and gym 2 twice a week. I must say i perspire like crazy as if i just completed a long run and it feels good

[prem]

Summary: While at incline, walking engages your muscles a lot more than running.

[changerstranger]

How much cardio should I do? I do 55 minutes of walking to the gym. Work out. 5 to 6 minutes of jogging above 7 incline. 15 for 3 minutes rest below. Walk back home. Than back to the gym working out 3 to 5 minutes on the stair/ steps and walk back home. 3 times a week. Sometimes I work out at home in between 2times a week. I’m 44 5 feet 7 158 pounds

[blastradius]

Incline power walking definitely works. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months because of it with a diet of course.
