Answer #1

you would want to be on the treadmill for atleast thirty minutes. that should be enough time to burn fat, but not over-work yourself. if you want to burn fat, you need to do cardio, which means having your heartbeat rise, then fall, then rise, then fall. so I would recommend walking for five minutes, then running/jogging for 2-3. then walking for five, then running again for 2-3 (or shorter if you cant do that). you can vary the speed, depending on how much you can handle. I would say 3.5- 4 is a good walking speed and 5.5- 7 is a good run/jog speed.

I hope it helps (:

Answer #2

I do first 5 min of incline 5 and speed 5. Then 15 min of incline 7 and speed 4.

I burn 150 calories in 20min.. & the rest I do on other machines total of 600cal in an hour at the gym..

Keep with the gym membership!!

Answer #3
