[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who set the speed and incline of their treadmills up so high they have to hang onto the top to keep from flying off.  That's an awesome workout!  For your arms!  ugh.[/quote]

Sometimes a good - and different - workout is setting it to a high incline.  Especially with machines that go up to 50% incline, you need to hang on sometimes for safety.

I do not want to do the same workout every time.  [/quote]

50% incline? Are you climbing walls?

I regularly use the incline for walking, but most of the machines go up to 15 degrees. No matter what setting you're using, if you have to hold on (for "safety" or otherwise), then you're doing it wrong. Slow down, lower the incline, and work your way up gradually. You are not doing yourself any favors or making yourself stronger by holding on.[/quote]

yes, there are treadmills that go up to 50% incline.  Nordic makes (or made) them.  I know some fitness firsts had them, as well as Golds.  I happen to own won.

Don't knock it until you have tried it.  It is a good workout - even holding on.[/quote]
