The Benefits of Incline Treadmill Workouts

Incline treadmill workouts are an excellent way to build leg strength and improve cardio fitness from the comfort of your own home.

Raising the incline on a treadmill allows you to simulate hiking or running uphill. Inclines are more challenging for your body than walking on a flat surface, as you're fighting gravity with each step.

In fact, some studies have found incline walking to be nearly equivalent to running without an incline. 

The added effort can make your workouts tougher and more rewarding. You can burn more calories, improve your balance, and strengthen your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. 

The 25-minute HIIT incline treadmill workout can give you these results, as it varies the incline between 0 (when warming up) to 12 for a short sprint.

If you're doing your own incline workout, aim to maintain a steady pace and good form throughout. To make your workout more challenging, consider incorporating some intervals!

Why You Should Try Interval Training

Interval workouts are a powerful training method that can help you improve your cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and fat-burning potential. Interval training involves alternating periods of high-intensity exercise (HIIT) with short periods of rest or moderate exercise.

These periods of rest create an oxygen debt in your body, triggering metabolic adaptations. 

Inducing metabolic adaptations with interval training can increase your stamina and help you burn more calories in less time. This is very beneficial to people who feel they're too busy to make fitness a priority.

Evidence shows that lack of time is a partial cause of physical inactivity around the world.

HIIT workouts are short and often more enjoyable (due to variety) than other workouts while still being appropriately challenging. 

Interval training is a great way to get the most out of your workout, especially when you're on a treadmill. Some people find treadmills a bit boring — introducing interval training is an easy way to keep things interesting!

Treadmills make incorporating intervals simple, as you can adjust the speed and incline with the press of a button.

The 25-Minute HIIT vs the 12-3-30 workout

In 2019, health and beauty influencer Lauren Giraldo shared a video of the 12-3-30 workout. The fitness routine has remained popular ever since. There are similarities between the 12-3-30 and the 25-minute HIIT workout demonstrated by Chyna Johnson, namely the use of an incline to build cardio and leg strength.

That said, the workouts are actually quite different. The 12-3-30 involves a 5 to 10-minute walking warm-up, after which you'll be walking at a 12% incline for 30 minutes at a pace of 3 miles per hour.

The 25-minute HIIT routine has more variety, as the intervals allow you more time to recover. This workout has you walking, jogging, and sprinting at different times rather than just running. 

It's important to note that an incline of 12% is rather high for the average person. The 25-minute HIIT only has one interval at a 12% incline — a 2-minute sprint.

All to say, both workouts can be challenging, but the 25-minute HIIT offers more variety and gives you the benefits of interval training.

If you're new to working out, there's nothing wrong with modifying either of these workouts to suit your abilities and fitness level.

Create Your Own Interval Treadmill Workout

With the right treadmill, you can easily create your own interval workout. You can start with a warm-up of 5-10 minutes at a moderate pace, and then do a set of high-intensity intervals followed by a set of low-intensity intervals or rest.

For example, you could do two minutes of jogging followed by one minute of walking. Repeat this pattern 3-5 times and then cool down with another 5-10 minutes of walking.

Over time, you can increase the duration and intensity to suit your fitness level. Don't forget to use inclines for a more challenging workout!
