Losing weight on Treadmill??

Question

Ive just brought a treadmill how long should i go on a day until i see a difference??

Answer 1

20-30 minutes 4-6 days a week combined with a healthy diet.

Answer 2

15minutes at least is the best way to see an improvement but when saying this your heart rate should be in at least the aerobic zone (60-80% max heart rate) or for even more beneficial purposes in the training zone(80-90% max heart rate) remember you must train for 15minutes at least to see an improvement also to find out your max heart rate do this simple calculation 220-your age is the max heart rate you can obtain eg. 220-19yrs=201max heart rate. You should soon see an improvement even in the first few days your muscle should be more toned legs and abs. For a even better work up do sit ups after the treadmill it will be better for your abs! hope this helps you!

Answer 3

Go on it for around 30 minutes everyday, start with a lower speed and mix it up with a few seconds at a higher speed.

Don't worry if you can't do 30 minutes straight away, build up to it.

I'd say go on it 5 days per week, you also need to do weight/resistance training to help build muscle and speed up your metabolism.

A healthy diet is essential, if you are a woman (sorry, forgot to look at the avatar) I'd recommend eating 1,200-1,400 calories per day. If you are male then 1,600-1,800 calories per day.

I also recommend this website:

www.sparkpeople.com

It is free to sign up (everything on it is free), I have lost 56lbs/4 stones and I couldn't of done it without this site.

Good luck!

you should do about 20 -25 min  interval training  (HITT). Do this at least 4 times a day.  fist warm up and stretch.  IA tread mill is not the best for HITT  but it worked for me.  I went form 260 to about 185.  Do this at least 4 times a day.  fist warm up and stretch.  go hard for about 30 sec then rest for 1 min.  repeat that about 3 more times then rest for 2 or 3 min.  Do that about 4 times comes out to about 25 min.  

*WIth HITT you will not over work your self like you might by doing full run or jog for 20-40 min like most people.

* With HITT you should stay in you target hart range.

*you will burn more calories from fat while preserving muscle

there are tons of HITT article on the net.  Muscle and fitness did a great artical  on it back in Feb

If you want to lose weight at the end of the day if you burn more cal than you take you fat will drop off.

PS if you doing it in front of a tv your not working hard enough..sorry

Answer 5

20 min? not too long. its just to be healthy. combine it with diet and the pounds will slip off. walking in front of a tv is great because you don't get bored. you can convince yourself that you can't stop until the tv show is done.

Answer 6

run on a treadmill like about 30 mins- 2 or 1 hours everyday and you will lose weight bit by bit.
