Today i set the incline to 5 ( dont know if its 5% as advised ) And i set the speed to 5 ( this is out of 20 and i dont know if this is 5kmph ) This was just walking and it wasnt hard at all. I did it for 5 minutes and my heart rate didnt change at all and i couldnt imagine it doing after 30 minutes. Have i done something wrong ? |

Total calories burnt will be higher from high intensity (which is what you need) and EPOC is raised so calorie burning will be raised for longer | |
