Increasing the slope and progressing the treadmill can put a greater load on the muscles, not on the knees and ligaments. It reduces the burden on the body and burns calories much more!

Starting Position

Breathing Technique

1. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth as you start running on the incline.

2. Maintain a steady, rhythmic breathing pattern throughout your run.
