March 2002

When using your treadmill, increase the angle (incline) a bit.  Every 1% grade increases the calories you burn by 10%.

For Example:
A 150# person burns about 100 calories per mile walked (or ran).  At a 1% grade this increases to 110 calories per mile.  2% grade = 120 calories, 3% grade = 130 calories, etc..

Just be careful and increase angles gradually, it takes a few weeks to do this.
