[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walking on an incline is awesome - doing intervals can be a fantastic workout! Just be sure to let go and let your arms swing naturally. [b]Don't hold on to the machine.[/b] [/quote] Why is it bad to hold on to the machine?[/quote] What do you hold on to when you walk up a hill outside? It's: - poor form - it causes people to "lean back" instead of slightly forward. - doesn't make you stronger (core strength, leg strength, glute strength, etc) - puts pressure on your lower back - burns considerably fewer calories If you find the need to hold on, you're going too fast and/or too high. Lower them until you can confidently let go. Unless you just had major surgery and are learning to walk again, you shouldn't be holding on to the treadmill. It makes no sense. [/quote]
