I do 45mins and tend to adjust my incline from 0-3.0 and speed from 5.5-6.5 throughout the whole work out. If you up your incline you work harder than running on a flat incline.

Your goal is realistic, however try running on an incline of 1. This is a better standard to compare to running outside. To be honest there is no reason to be on a treadmill for 60 minutes. Try the following routine:
-Start out with a 2-4 minute warm up at 80% of your fastest pace
-Then tone it down to 60% for 1.5 minutes
-then go 90% for 30 seconds
do this routine 7-9 times and your done with cardio.
this burns fat faster than a steady pace

30 min 10 incline at 7.0 speed Sun and Friday.
weight lift Tues-Thur. depending on amount of homework and part-time job schedule.

Keep it up! Motivation hints= “Hook yourself up to the Music”
“No pain no Gain” “Not sweating not losing”
P.S. My mom does 5.6 speed at 5.0 (for 30 min) incline and usually loses 600+-20 calories each day.

….3.5-for 5 minutes 4-4.5 for 10 minutes to warm up the legs then run for 30 minutes at 6 also…remember….your body starts produce it’s own oxygen at about 20 minutes…so keep going at least until then…it will then get easier.

good luck on your goal.

I have a program I do every night!

5 min- 5 mph
1 min- 5.3
2 min-5.5
1 min-5.8
5 min – 6
5 min – 6.5
5 min – 7
1 min – 7.5
1 min – 8.0
1 min – 8.5
1 min – 9.0
1 min – 9.5
3 min – 6
2 min – 5
5 min – 4.0 cool down

I love this routine. The intervals are really good for stamina. I usually put it at a 1.5 incline.
