Choosing the Right Inclined Treadmill for Weight Loss

A motorized inclined treadmill allows you to burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. This is because a steeper incline requires more effort and muscle use. This guide will help you choose the right inclined treadmill for your specific needs.

How steep should the incline be on an inclined treadmill?

This depends largely on your level of fitness and budget. Most entry-level models will have a 10% maximum incline. This should be good if you are a beginner or don't want to push your body too hard. There are some treadmills that go up to a 40% max incline. This is good for experienced athletes, but these treadmills are often quite expensive. A 15% max incline is considered the middle ground because it pushes your body without being too expensive.

What treadmill belt size should you look for?

The motorized belt should long enough for your full stride and wide enough that you can comfortably stand on the treadmill without feeling squished on either side. Most standard treadmills are about 50 inches long and 22 inches wide. See the manufacturer site for details. If you are unsure if this is too big or small, then measure your stride and width.

There are many inclined treadmills that are smaller and bigger than this standard size. You just need to know what size is right for you.

How do you choose the right treadmill weight limit?

Every inclined treadmill has a weight limit. This is especially important with steeper inclines and higher speeds. The truth is that most posted weight limits are based on the highest weight on the lowest settings. You should subtract 50 from the weight limit for a more realistic figure. For example, if the maximum weight limit is posted as 300 pounds, then 250 would realistically be safest at high speeds and on steep inclines.

What extra features should you consider with an inclined treadmill?

There are many features to choose from. The most common extras include:

  • Folding treadmill: This type has a folding body that allows you to store it under your bed.
  • Digital integration: Many treadmills have digital integration that can upload your workout results to websites and apps.
  • Decline: Some inclined treadmills can also decline to simulate downhill walking. This uses other muscles and can shake up your workout routine.
  • Display: You can find treadmills with LED displays, monitors, and touch screens. LED displays are usually the least expensive, while monitors and touch screens have extra options.
