What are some good fat burning tips for the treadmill?

Answer 1

Keep your butt & abs flexed the whole time.

PS: If you are walking, walk for at least 30 mins. That's how long it takes you to burn off sugar. If you wan't to burn fat, go for an hour or an hour and a half.

Answer 2

If your knees are troubling you, then I would try some other form of cardio along with weight training, like the stationary bike or try a spin class. Cardio alone isn't going to burn fat which is often the common misconception. Cardio burns calories. You're going to need to build muscle to help burn fat. Weight training doing multiple reps with machines or free weights, not power lifting, are what you should incorporate into your workout routine. You'll get results faster and not only slim down, but tone your muscles as well, which will also help you look thinner. If you strengthen your leg muscles, particularly those that support the knees, you may also alleviate some of the stress on them, allowing you to run and jog with no pain. Good luck! I hope you reach your goal!

Answer 3

forget about counting the calories burned, it's a complete waste of time. focus on continuously increasing the intensity of your training. this is accomplished by traveling a greater distance each cardio session in the same training time. say today you ran 5 miles in 30 minutes, the next cardio session the goal would be to travel 5.1-5.2 miles in the same 30 minutes. by constantly increasing the amount of "work" that is being performed in the same time you increase your cardiovascular endurance. the greater your cardiovascular endurance the higher the level of intensity you can exercise at. the longer and greater the intensity of exercise the greater the increase there will be in the metabolic rate after exercise which is when the real fat loss takes place, not during exercise. at the conclusion of exercise the body consumes excess oxygen to restore the body to the pre-exercise state. this excess oxygen consumption causes an increase in fatty acid oxidation.

Answer 4

-Always do a warmup. I usually slow jog/walk 2 laps around. That prevents injury and really gets you used to the running motion.

-Walk/jog/run for 30-40 minutes 3 times a week (or if you're willing, 6 times a week).

-Once you feel the regular old treadmill routine seems easy, change the incline setting.

-Don't hold on to the bars on the treadmill.

-Don't overdo your workout, but don't do too little. It is what it is: a workout.

Answer 5
