Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I am going to try increasing the incline next treadmill day, it will work my glutes too right? A friend was telling me he runs at a 9. That just scares me LOL - Jogging - WHen I started, I only played with the incline - raising it to make it more difficult (I hate running/jogging) Then I started increasing the speed. Then I had to decrease the incline, and I kept the speed up. Now I'm thinking of decreasing the speed, and increasing the incline They're all good - just keep changing it around to stay interested. Do what works for you - ie, if you hate running, then increase the incline and decrease the speed. n At 11:13 AM 2/28/2006, you wrote: >I started my 2nd week yesterday and doing good so far.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 , WOW, that scares me too, LOL. I did it my HIIT at 1 and it was hard, LOL. Yes, I have heard it's really good for your glutes too! : ) Amy > > I am going to try increasing the incline next treadmill day, it will work my glutes too right?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm up to 5! And yes, it's a total glute-slam. I feel it right in the middle/side of my biggest part of my butt. There are muscles in there just dying to get out!!!! haha. 9 is totally scary. I might try it to see what it feels like. I've done 6 and it's a little hard to balance yet for me, but I'll spend more time there and pretty soon it'll be fine.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Im not a runner. I just dont like it. Plus, the impact on your knees on a treadmill isnt the best for you. So I do a fast walk on an incline. I walk at 3.7-4.0 mph at a 15 incline, which is the max. Thats the cardio I do on my weight training days. I noticed that I burn more calories in the same amount of time then my friends that jog at no incline. I use the eliptical on my HIIT days. I try to keep my speed around 4.0 and increase/descrese the levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 He is a fireman though and spends his free time scaling buildings in the city Maybe that has something to do with it. I feel better knowing that I am not the only one who can't do 9 Tomorrow is cardio and I going with the incline! My leg workout is on Friday though...should I be careful not to work my legs too hard tomorrow? Re: - Jogging I'm up to 5! And yes, it's a total glute-slam.
