Answer 1

Yes, you can lose weight very nicely by walking on the treadmill, especially if you put it on a incline for a few minutes at a time and work up. Your treadmill time needs to be a minimum of 20 minutes working up to a hour. Your body starts to burn fat after 20 minutes, so you'll want to go beyond this.

Answer 2

Yes, treadmill exercise will help you lose weight. Just remember weight loss is caused by a deficit of calories consumed vs. calories used. Higher intensity exercise will burn more calories and help you reduce weight faster. So dont be afraid to up the speed/incline occaisionally, just increase your intesity slowly so as to avoid overtraining.

Answer 3

walking a t 2.5 mph is good - just add an incline to your routine and gradually increase it - you will burn so many more calories just adding the incline - you will also incorporate more muscles in to your walking routine - also, inclines help simulate actual movement so it'll be the closest thing you can do aside from the real thing -

Answer 5
