What it is
Walking on a treadmill at a steep incline and a moderate pace. It raises the heart rate and works the glutes and calves while staying easy on the joints. Avoid holding the rails.
Technique tips
- Set a steep incline and moderate speed
- Let go of the rails
- Stand tall and take full steps
- Push through the whole foot
How to track your progress
Log distance and time. Straddly tracks your pace and your longest effort, and marks new bests automatically.
