    Are you able to walk? Incline walking on a treadmill burns calories very fast. All you gotta do is set the treadmill to max incline (or less, set it where you like, but the more incline the better) and just walk for a half hour or so a few times per week. The more you walk the faster you burn the fat. Sometimes when I run, I wonder why when I can burn the same amount of calories incline walking.

    If you do choose to try incline walking, avoid holding the handles or the top of the panel on the treadmill. I see many people doing this. It effectively negates the incline. The whole point of incline walking is carrying your body weight up a hill. Holding a static surface and leaning back reduces the load.

    Just walk as much as you feel comfortable with. You’ll notice it gets easier very quickly. Its also quite enjoyable to watch videos or listen to a podcast to pass the time.

      Yes, I can walk. I don’t have a treadmill, but I once walked all over the city for several weeks, but my stomach remained the same :(
