Hi, I've been walking on the treadmill for about 40-60 mins a day for about two weeks now. The one I am using has an optional adjustable incline. Is it better to use the incline or just use it flat to become lean and lose weight? I want to slim down not build muscles right now if that helps at all... Thanks!

Incline. Anyway, try to do both. Start your workout with flat and after about 10-15 minutes switch to incline. (Calories will only starts to burn after 15 minutes of each exercise). At the same time you should try to varies the speed from low to high and high to low. (Do not stay at the same speed at all times) On the last 15 minutes, go back to flat and do a slow jog and decrease the speed simutaneously for warm down. Keep a personal progress chart to see how much progress you have made. You'll get your goal better this way.

The incline will burn more calories but if your just starting just do the flat.

Incline = more of a workout

do it on an incline....but don't hang on as it will lead to sore back/hips/less work getting done
if you're going to walk at an incline you should never hang on to the railings and if you need to you're going to fast

Walk to some co-worker's desk to chat rather than instant messaging.

In the mood for a hot meal? Make a massive pot of veggie bean soups, divide into two-cup containers, and store in the freezer. Before bed, place a container from the fridge, then grab it before heading out the door each morning.

Don’t focus on your imperfections, spotlight your best bits. Smaller waist? Belt it in. Beautiful bust? Lower the neckline. Nicely toned butt? Rock tight jeans. Sexy legs? Show ‘em off. It’s really that simple.

Eat in front of a person rather than screen. It cuts down on mindless eating and making you more accountable for each mouthful.

For sandwich-lovers, use spinach or swiss chard leaves instead of a wrap, skip the cut of cheese, and load standing on the veggies.

Add cooked whole grains to some salad to increase the soluble fiber and protein and make the meal feel as pleasing.
