Want to burn calories faster while boosting your endurance? Training on an incline treadmill is a smart choice. In this blog, you’ll discover exactly how many extra calories you can torch with incline workouts, plus all the benefits, expert tips, and a handy comparison table.
An incline treadmill simulates uphill walking or running⛰️, activating your glutes, hamstrings and calves more intensely. Your heart rate climbs quicker, resulting in significantly higher calorie burn than on a flat setting. Incline sessions help you shed more calories and improve cardiovascular fitness simultaneously.
The calories you burn depend on several factors🏃♂️➡️:
In the table below, see how walking and jogging compare, both flat and at 6 % incline:
| Activity | 70 kg person | 85 kg person |
|---|---|---|
| Walking (5 km/h, flat) | ± 130 kcal | ± 160 kcal |
| Walking (5 km/h, 6 % incline) | ± 180 kcal | ± 225 kcal |
| Jogging (8 km/h, flat) | ± 280 kcal | ± 340 kcal |
| Jogging (8 km/h, 6 % incline) | ± 370 kcal | ± 450 kcal |
Incline workouts are ideal for anyone who wants to burn more calories without running—just hike at a brisk pace. Runners love it too: uphill training intensifies each run, even at home. Explore our range of adjustable incline treadmills and find your perfect match!
A 6 % incline can boost calorie burn by up to 30–40 %. Whether walking or jogging, you’ll get more out of every session without upping your speed. It’s a simple way to accelerate fat loss, build endurance, and strengthen muscles. Check out our next post on losing weight with a treadmill! 🏁
