Many people use treadmills for weight loss but often stick to a steady pace, neglecting the machine's fat-burning potential. By adjusting the treadmill's incline and intensity, you can significantly enhance your fat-burning results.

Here's how to effectively use your treadmill to maximize fat burn with a weekly running plan that can boost your fat-burning speed by 50%!

Monday: Low-Intensity Workout

Set the treadmill incline to 1% and the intensity to level 1. After warming up, engage in a brisk walk or slow jog for about 50 minutes.

Tuesday: Interval Running

Start with a 1% incline. Alternate the intensity between levels 1 and 3 every five minutes. Continue this pattern of brisk walking or running for about 50 minutes.

Wednesday: Rest Day

Take a day off to relax. If you have extra energy, you can repeat Monday’s workout.

Thursday: Increased Intensity Run

Set the treadmill incline to 1%. After warming up, increase the intensity to level 2 and engage in brisk walking or running for 20 minutes.

Friday: Rest Day

Take another day off to rest and recover.

Saturday: Incline Intervals

Begin with the treadmill incline set to 4% and intensity at level 2. Run or brisk walk for 1 minute. Lower the incline to 2% and reduce the intensity to level 1, then walk or run for 1 minute. Increase the incline to 5% and continue for 5 minutes. Lower the incline to 2% and rest for 1 minute. Repeat this cycle, gradually increasing the incline up to 10%, then end with a 2% incline and 5 minutes of relaxation.

Sunday: Rest Day or Repeat

Take a rest day or follow Tuesday’s interval running plan.

Treadmills are not affected by bad weather, allowing you to run anytime. For those who care about skin care, it eliminates the worry of sun exposure during summer runs. Treadmills take up little space, making them a convenient option for home workouts. If you don’t already have one, maybe it’s time to consider adding a treadmill to your home gym.
