Your calories to shed should be more than the ones you gain if you think you are gaining weight. In such cases, treadmill workouts for weight loss may be just the thing you need. It's not painful and it's effective.

For the best weight loss program equation, calories gained must be less than or equal to calories lost. This means, you are not only required to exercise. You are also advised to stay on a healthy diet.

For a workout to be effective, it has to be done gradually at increasing speed. It also requires you to include increasing the inclination of your treadmill. The goal is to help you burn more calories and build stamina.

By gradual increase of speed, we mean a steady change of speed at every 15-second intervals. Here's how to make this program work (it is highly recommended that you try this out).

A 5-Minute Warm Up

1. Set your speed at 3 or 4 mph. 2. Walk to about 5 minutes. 3. Gradually increase the inclination of your running surface area from zero to 1%.

Variation 1 - The 2 minute run

- Start your speed at 5 mph. - Run at an inclination of 2%. - After every 15 seconds, increase your speed until you reach 5.7 mph. - While increasing the speed, increase the inclination at 1% every 15 seconds until you hit the 5% slope.

Variation 2 - Decreasing speed

- At 5.7 mph, increase the inclination to 6% and continue running - Start decreasing the speed every 15 seconds until you're back at 5 mph - At the same time, reduce the slope every 15 seconds until you're back at 2% - Do this for 3 minutes

Variation 3 - Do the brisk walk or jogging

- Every 15 seconds, change the speed from 4.5 mph to 5.0 mph and back - Continue this speed change cycle for 5 minutes - At the same time, decrease the slope to zero level (0% inclination)

Against the time intervals, try this one basic procedure of treadmill workouts at varying speed. Make sure you have a steady increment of 1 per unit.

Once you've tried the various speeds, don't stop immediately. Allow some five minutes of decelerated running. This is actually the process when you need to cool your muscles down.

A 5-Minute Cool Down.

- Start from the last speed and inclination - Gradually decrease the speed at 1 increment every 15 seconds - Gradually decrease slope at 1 increment every 15 seconds - When you reach the zero inclination level continue walking - When you reach the zero inclination level, your speed should be 3 mph - After 5 minutes, stop

Do this treadmill workouts for weight loss program regularly in order to get the results that you want. It is also recommended that you try doing it for 45 minutes. If not, just take it slowly - start at 15 minutes a day until you reach the 45 minute mark. Eventually you'll get it.
