A good question is how long should you walk on a tread mill each day to lose weight, burn fat and tone your muscles?

IF you are no fit then a good thing to do would be to walk between 10-15 minutes a day –do this every day and then gradually go longer.  You may not be physically fit at all and this may be the first time you are taking exercise seriously.

So here is a good workout on the treadmill

First -yes starting off with 10 -15 minutes at 3 to 5 miles per hour and then try to increase the time to about 30 minutes at that same speed once you can do that easily increase how fast you are going

A goo number to aim for as a man is 8 miles /hour for a mile and for a woman 6-7 miles per hour for a mile

When you are fit then you need to run on a treadmill for about 1-5 miles and once you can run for 30 minutes at a medium pace then stop running to improve time but improve the distance

For instance if you start running at 5 m/hr for 1 mile

Then you get your run to 7 m/hour

Don’t try for 8 miles per hour try 7 miles per hour for 15 minutes or a mile and a half

When you can run at 7 miles per hour for 20 minutes then consider running at 8 miles per hour for a mile

The other thing that is crucial for losing weight is to use interval training! Interval training means running for 2 minutes at sat 8 miles per hour then walking at 4 for 2 minutes then back to the running for 2 minutes at 8 miles per hour.

Alternate between the two for faster results

Start low and slow speed to avoid sprained muscles, say from 10 minutes, improve by 5 minutes everyday until you get 30 minutes and also when you properly sweat it out. It all depends how much you can take it. You can adjust the speed faster when you think you are fit enough to do so. Walking on a treadmill is a very good exercise for people who want to slim down fast and to keep fit. But to be effective you need to eat clean foods and watch your carbohydrate and simple sugar intake. because these two are culprits that will be converted to fat if in excess after digestion in your body.
