Treadmill incline walk

The session

Warm-up

Attach the safety clip to your clothing and locate the stop button. Follow the machine instructions to start slowly. Walk for 5 minutes at an easy pace with little or no incline.

Main set

Walk for 15–20 minutes at a conversational effort. Add a small incline only if you can stay upright without hanging on the rails. Change speed or incline one small step at a time; console units differ.

Cool-down

Reduce incline and speed gradually, then walk easily for 5 minutes. Stop the belt fully before stepping off and unclipping.

Choose a speed you can walk independently. Use the rails for balance when needed, but lower the speed or incline if you need to support your bodyweight on them.
