Here&#8217;s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Maximal Fat Oxidation (MFO)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: HIIT alternates between short bursts of intense effort (e.g. sprinting) and recovery periods (e.g. walking). This approach maximizes fat oxidation during the workout and creates an &#8220;afterburn effect&#8221; (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC) (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8758170\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10494468\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), where your body continues to burn calories, even after you\u2019ve stepped off the treadmill.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time Efficiency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: HIIT burns more calories in less time than steady-state cardio, which makes it ideal for those with tight schedules (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/1660-4601\/18\/13\/7201\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Metabolic Boost<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The intense intervals push your body to its limits, increasing your metabolic rate and improving your overall fat-burning capacity over time (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34427732\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, HIIT isn\u2019t for everyone &#8211; it\u2019s demanding and requires a good fitness base to avoid injury.

However, don&#8217;t max out on speed if it causes poor form as this can lead to an\u00a0 increased risk of injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incline<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Inclining the treadmill adds intensity and mimics uphill running or walking. It activates your glutes, hamstrings and calves for a more well-rounded workout.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Workout Intensity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: To maximize fat loss during steady-state cardio (e.g. jogging), aim to maintain a moderate level of perceived exertion (4-6 out of 10) throughout the entire session.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Timing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your goal is fat loss, try scheduling your treadmill sessions in the morning on an empty stomach. This approach takes advantage of your body&#8217;s depleted glycogen stores (stored carbohydrates) to force it to use fat as its main source of fuel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rest and Recovery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Proper recovery is essential when you\u2019re aiming for optimal fat loss. Make sure to rest between workouts, stay hydrated, and consume enough protein to support muscle repair and growth.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below is how to incorporate some of these factors into your treadmill workouts:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_High-Intensity_Interval_Training_HIIT\"><\/span><b>Use High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-intensity interval training, or <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calisthenics-hiit-workout\/\">HIIT<\/a>, is one of the most effective ways to maximize fat burn (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2077-0383\/12\/6\/2291\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This involves alternating between intense bursts of activity &#8211; such as sprinting &#8211; and slower recovery periods &#8211; such as walking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIIT elevates your heart rate quickly during the sprinting phases, which encourages your body to burn fat for fuel, even after the session ends. This phenomenon is called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) or the \u201cafterburn effect\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8758170\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10494468\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Your body works overtime after HIIT to return to a normal metabolic state, burning additional calories in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While HIIT is highly effective, it\u2019s also demanding. If you\u2019re new to treadmill workouts, start with shorter intervals and lower speeds. For example, sprint for 30 seconds at a challenging pace, then walk briskly for 1-2 minutes.

When you increase the incline of your treadmill, your body works harder to counteract gravity, engaging muscles such as your glutes, calves, and core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incline walking increases your heart rate without requiring you to run, which can minimize stress on your joints. It also engages a variety of muscles that aren\u2019t fully activated during flat walking, leading to higher calorie and fat burn (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0021929012002291?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start at a moderate incline of 6\u2014% and gradually work your way up to steeper settings (10-15%) for a greater challenge. Avoid holding onto the treadmill rails, as this reduces the workload on your body and diminishes the effectiveness of the workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some assume that incline walking only benefits beginners, but even advanced gym-goers can use incline walking to break through plateaus or as a lower-impact alternative to running.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorporate_Steady-State_Cardio_for_Endurance_and_Consistency\"><\/span><b>Incorporate Steady-State Cardio for Endurance and Consistency<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steady-state cardio involves maintaining a moderate pace &#8211; think brisk walking or light jogging &#8211; for an extended time. Although it doesn\u2019t involve intense bursts like HIIT, it has its place in a well-rounded fat-burning strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method allows you to stay in the so-called \u201cfat-burning zone\u201d, where your body relies on fat as its primary energy source. While HIIT can be short and intense, steady-state cardio is longer and more sustainable for many people (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8758170\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For effective fat burning, aim for 30-60 minutes of steady activity at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6763680\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). If you\u2019re unsure about heart rate zones, many treadmills have sensors to guide you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a common misconception that steady-state cardio is obsolete in the age of HIIT. However, it\u2019s an excellent option for beginners, active recovery days, or those with joint issues who prefer a less intense workout (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4657417\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steady-state cardio burns fewer calories per minute than HIIT (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/nsca-jscr\/fulltext\/2015\/03000\/caloric_expenditure_of_aerobic,_resistance,_or.28.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), so consistency is key. Keep it interesting by listening to music, podcasts, or trying virtual interactive routes to stay engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Progressive_Overload_to_Push_Your_Limits\"><\/span><b>Use Progressive Overload to Push Your Limits<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Progressive overload isn\u2019t just for weightlifting, it applies to treadmill workouts too. This means gradually increasing the intensity, speed, or duration of your sessions to keep challenging your body (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC9528903\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your body adapts to a specific routine, fat burn plateaus. By increasing the difficulty, you force your body to work harder, burning more calories and ultimately fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by increasing your speed by 0.1\u20130.5 mph per session, or add a slight incline if you\u2019ve been walking flat. Small, gradual changes allow your body to adapt without becoming overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common myth is that pushing too hard is always better for fat loss. However, overtraining can lead to fatigue and injury. Balance progressive overload with appropriate recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping track of your progress requires consistency.

Nutrition and recovery play enormous roles in your results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treadmill workouts create a calorie deficit, but the quality of calories consumed impacts fat oxidation and energy levels. Protein, healthy fats, and whole grains are your allies, while processed foods and sugar are best minimized (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4540168\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

However, here\u2019s how speed plays a role in fat loss and how you can determine what works best for you:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Fat-Burning_Zone_Myth\"><\/span><b>1. The Fat-Burning Zone Myth<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have heard of the \u201cfat-burning zone\u201d, which suggests that exercising at a lower intensity (around 50\u20140% of your maximum heart rate) burns more fat. While it\u2019s true that a higher percentage of calories burned at lower intensities come from fat, the total calorie burn is often lower than in higher-intensity workouts. For fat loss, the total calorie deficit matters more than the percentage of fat burned during exercise. You can&#8217;t out-exercise a poor diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Walking_Speeds_for_Fat_Loss\"><\/span><b>2. Walking Speeds for Fat Loss<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For beginners or those with joint concerns, walking at a brisk pace (3.5-4.5 mph) can be effective. Adding an incline can further boost calorie burn and engage more muscles without requiring you to run. This is a sustainable option for many people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Jogging_and_Running_Speeds\"><\/span><b>3. Jogging and Running Speeds<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who are comfortable with higher intensities, jogging (5-6 mph) or running (6.5+ mph) can burn more calories in less time. These speeds are great for steady-state cardio or interval training, depending on your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_HIIT_and_Speed_Variability\"><\/span><b>4. HIIT and Speed Variability<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT), your speed will vary. Sprinting intervals may range from 8-12 mph, while recovery periods could involve walking at 3-4 mph. The key is to push yourself during the sprints and recover adequately during the slower phases.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Personalization_is_Key\"><\/span><b>5. Personalization is Key<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best speed for fat loss is one that challenges you without causing burnout or injury. Use the \u201ctalk test\u201d as a guide: during moderate-intensity exercise, you should be able to speak in short sentences but not hold a full conversation. For high-intensity intervals, you should feel breathless but still in control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Better_to_Run_Faster_or_Longer_for_Weight_Loss\"><\/span><b>Is It Better to Run Faster or Longer for Weight Loss?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s better to run faster or longer for weight loss depends on your goals, fitness level, and preferences. Here\u2019s a breakdown:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Running Faster (High-Intensity)<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pros<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Burns more calories per minute, boosts metabolism through the afterburn effect (EPOC), and improves cardiovascular fitness.

While these numbers aren\u2019t 100% accurate, they\u2019ll give you a general idea of how much energy you\u2019re expanding. To lose 1 lb of fat, you need to create a weekly calorie deficit of approximately 3,500 calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4035446\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), which includes both exercise and mindful eating.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without factoring in other forms of exercise, aim to burn an extra 300-500 calories per treadmill session.
