New Addiction

In addition to the many addictions already affecting me, I have a new addiction: walking at twelve to fifteen degree elevation on a treadmill. One might argue that it’s a subset of my addiction to exercise, and that may be true.

One of the best aspects of treadmill incline: it burns calories at a rate of more than 600 calories per hour. That means three hours of incline treadmill walking/running can take off one-half of a pound weekly. This doesn’t consider the impact it has on the legs. It makes them strong without the bulky buildup that weights can bring that can make one oh…so slow.

If you’re looking for a great workout—give it a try.
