It is but it definitely hard on the shins. I was doing it for a while on weeks having 1 hour days, 45min days to 30min days. Its taxing over time. But I LOVE it!
Yeah anywhere above 10% incline and 3.5 speed is SOLID and you’ll burn calories much faster. I typically do 15-25 minute sessions like this and throw on a RU-vid video
The thing about this is, his height plays a role in this. How long his legs and stridel are. So if the person who is asking this is asking for themselves, you are different unless you have his leg length, it won't apply to you. Oh and Chris, you are my Pic to win sir.
This comment is irrelevant. It’s not like it makes that much of a difference if you’re a few inches taller or shorter in terms of stride length, especially since you’re on a treadmill where everyone has relatively similar strides. And he also listed his target heart rate, which is what you should be aiming for regardless.
They key here is 125-130 beats per minute on the heart rate. He's describing zone 2 cardio where you burn the most fat. Everyone has zone 2 regardless of height.
Basically what he’s trying to accomplish is zone 2 cardio. Much lower impact on joints, burns fat as opposed to carbs and doesn’t tax the nervous system as much
This is the super secret that bodybuilders do that nobody ever wants to follow because they want to mix performance training with zone 2 fat burn cardio. Most people do cardio at Zone 4-5 and never burn fat
@@ikaiko8612 general cardio and cardio during contest prep are entirely different beasts. Then again people like to idolise successful bodybuilders and obsess over the small details of their training, thinking that if they emulate that they’ll become like them
That's crazy impressive. That's faster than kipchoge on a torturous Incline. I've seen people try to run his pace on normal Incline and fit people can only do it for 3 minutes
I do 5 stoped warm up 7 spped to get to going then try to run a whole mile in 10 speed with 0% incline if done right you get you mile done in 6:40 minutes
I typically do: Incline 8/Speed 4.5mph because my goal is to burn 200+ calories per mile of cardio. I typically try an burn 2,000 calories a week on 3 days of cardio so 3.0mph would just take too long.
Never come off of 15% incline myself (unless I’m going to try to work on increasing speed and then I go right back to training on 15) - would like to know how fast he would go with that setting and for how long
To answer this question better, weight and height matters drastically. If I followed cbums settings I would not get the same results. My heart rate would be 105-110 max (I’ve been using a close setting for a while). Everyone’s at a different physical level when it comes to cardiovascular endurance. Your goal should be to maintain 125-135 for 20 minutes minimum of your trying to lose body fat. Personally I use stair-mill speed 7 for 30 minutes fasted, 20 minutes post workout.
Is it better to increase incline or speed at treadmill? I am currently doing 15 mint treadmill at speed of 6km/h (3.7mph) at incline(gradient) of 4.5% and i weigh 119kg(260pounds)?? Please guide me ..i dont have trainer
What about walking outside, swim or play some kind of sport for 30-45 mins? I guess it has to be a treadmill och stairmaster if you wish to be a bodybuilder.
