[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Holding onto the rails other than balance issues will give more heel action on a steep incline which will hit the glutes better for those wanting to isolate the butt.  [/quote]

Completely false - holding on reduced the effort on your lower body, including glutes, and offers no physical benefit. There is no exercise that holding on, on an incline mimics. When you walk up a hill outside - do you hold on to anything? Of course not. Rotate your eyes - you're essentially walking flat when you do this.

Regarding "balance" issues, you are also not doing yourself any favors. If you have to hold on, then you're going to fast. You're better off slow walking at 1mph, on a flat treadmill. You slowly build the core strength to allow your body to stabilize. So, work your way up - even if your speed is at a crawl. That's how you get stronger and work on your balance issues.

There are absolutely zero benefit to holding on. None whatsoever. Any trainer that recommends this should have their certifications revoked. [/quote]

There are plenty of exercises, for one, "belt squats", glute cable kickbacks and a cardio machine called jacob's ladder.  Google them to see description and see if they have "zero benefits" [/quote]
