An incline treadmill is a treadmill where you can adjust the angle of the running surface. This creates the feeling of walking or running on hilly terrain, without having to go outside. The basic principle remains the same as with a normal treadmill, but thanks to the adjustable angle you can intensify your training and add new challenges to your workout.
Why train on a treadmill with incline function?
Training on a treadmill with incline function gives you the opportunity to intensify your workout. Because you can adjust the incline, you imitate the conditions of hilly terrain, which means you engage more muscle groups and burn more calories in a shorter time. This makes your training more intense and effective than when you walk or run on a flat surface.
In addition, an incline function provides variety in your routine, which is not only motivating but also helps to break through any plateaus. By gradually increasing the incline angle, you train safely and responsibly at your own level, without the risk of overload. This way you can continue to work on a stronger body and better condition, with the added benefit that you can do all this indoors, regardless of the weather.
Setting the correct slope angle
When training on an incline treadmill, it is crucial to set the incline carefully. Too high an incline can lead to overload, while too low an incline may not offer enough challenge. It is therefore important to start slowly with an incline of only 1% to 2% and then gradually build up.
Always listen to your body and lower the incline if you notice that your body is being overloaded. This way you train effectively and safely, while still being able to fully benefit from the advantages that an incline treadmill offers.
