Treadmill fitness equipment is widely used to burn calories and fat.
For those who don't get enough physical activity this is a very good alternative since it can be done indoors.
You can do this rain or shine in your living room, at the gym or on your lawn if you want fresh air.
For a person who weighs around 200 pounds, you can burn approximately 150 calories by walking in the treadmill for 30 minutes at 2 mph.
If you are bigger, that number will be higher.
If the same 200 pound person increases the speed to 3 mph, a 30 minutes treadmill workout will burn around 250 calories.
See how important workout intensity is? The Interval method is one of the best ways to burn optimum fat using your elliptical treadmill.
This method increases intensity as you progress through your workout.
You can start at a low level for a few minutes on a flat surface as your warm up on your interval workout.
You can move it up to 2.
5mph on a 2% incline for 5 minutes and then to 3.
5 mph on a 5% incline for 5 minutes.
This is the main interval.
After you have done that level, the intensity reduces.
You now do the warm down interval.
This is done the same way you increase your workout intensity only that you will do it by decreasing the intensity.
You will burn approximately 400 to 500 calories in a 25 minute routine, if you have done it right.
Your interval time and speed may vary.
