September 09, 2025 at 12:13 PM EDT

SOLE Fitness has released a guide on maximizing calorie burn with treadmill inclines, showing 52-113% increased metabolic cost depending on adjustments and settings.

Salt Lake City, United States, September 9, 2025 -- SOLE Fitness has released a guide detailing how treadmill incline adjustments can significantly increase calorie burn during workouts. The guide presents research showing that walking on a 5% incline increases metabolic cost by 52% compared to flat surfaces, while a 10% incline raises it by 113%.

The guide provides specific recommendations based on fitness level: 1-5% inclines for beginners, 6-10% for intermediate users, and 11-15% for advanced exercisers. It also details the 12-3-30 workout method—walking at 12% incline, 3 mph, for 30 minutes—which has gained popularity for its cardiovascular benefits and muscle toning effects.

As SOLE's new guide describes, "By increasing the incline, you simulate walking uphill, which makes your muscles work harder. This boosts calorie burn and also helps in toning your legs and glutes. The increased effort required to walk uphill also strengthens your heart and lungs, leading to better overall fitness, and it adds variety to your workout, making it more enjoyable and less monotonous."

The home fitness brand's new guide also emphasizes proper form during incline walking, recommending an upright posture that engages core muscles while avoiding handrail dependency. This technique maximizes the workout's effectiveness while reducing strain on joints, complementing the impact-reduction technology offered by SOLE.

For users who need more guidance on how to take advantage of incline training, SOLE Fitness also offers guided incline workouts through their SOLE+ App, which comes without subscription fees on all treadmill purchases. The app includes programs specifically designed for cardiovascular conditioning and muscle development across all fitness levels. Workout sessions incorporate interval training techniques that combine varying incline levels with speed adjustments to maximize calorie burn and prevent fitness plateaus.

To ensure their shoppers can gain these comprehensive benefits, SOLE treadmills offer 15-level incline precision with commercial-grade motors that maintain consistent performance during intensive use. Their Cushion Flex Whisper Deck technology also reduces joint impact by 40%, making incline training more sustainable for regular exercise.

SOLE Fitness' current treadmill lineup includes the F63 and F65 models with 3.0 HP motors for reliable daily use. Premium options like the F85 and F89 add 6-level decline capability to simulate varied terrain conditions. For serious athletes, the TT8 and ST90 non-folding models provide additional stability and performance features. All SOLE treadmills include lifetime warranties on frames and motors, with weight capacities on their higher-end models up to 400 pounds.
