According to Edwin, the cardio trick to lose 6 kg of fat faster without running is a quick 25-minute treadmill incline hack. The fitness influencer broke down the routine that one needs to follow if they want to burn fat. He divided the 25 minutes into five 5-minute sets and suggested the incline and speed for each of them.
This is all you need to get your cardio in: 1. 1-5 minutes Incline: 5 Speed: 3.0 2.
6-10 minutes Incline: 8 Speed: 3.8 3. 10-15 minutes Incline: 11 Speed: 4.
0 4. 15-20 minutes Incline: 9 Speed: 3.0 5.
21-25 minutes Incline: 12 Speed: 4.0 Why should you walk on an incline? The fitness influencer explained that each increase in incline forces your body to work harder, burning up to 4 percent more calories per level. According to him, incline walking also helps you enter the fat-burning heart rate zone, maximising energy use and boosting endurance.
According to Harvard Health , an incline setting generates more muscle activity than walking on a flat surface since you work against gravity. It also adds resistance that can help build muscles in the lower body. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
