My gf has messed up knees from playing basketball and has had surgery on them a few years back. They're not messed up by any means but running for duration still kills her, whether on a treadmill or outside, new shoes, etc... She's looking to tone up so I was thinking instead she could do the treadmill at a 2mph or so pace for 45 min for 3x a week, maybe @ an incline, would be effective? Her diet is very clean but wants to add cardio in.
Have you guys seen good results from walking @ an incline on the treadmill in terms of fatloss as compared to running? What did you schedule look like. Thnx |

Hey BB! I have had good results with walking at an incline on the treadmill. I did that before my last comp for an hour session at a time. I would recommend, if at all possible, she do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Then eat about an hour after finishing her session. Just my opinion, but that is what works best for me. Good luck to her!

Thank Jul. Is the incline necessary or would flat treadmill walking yield about the same results?

I usually prop up the back of my treadmill with 5 or 6 of the steppers so i can run downhill, much easier. But the gf wont do it
