Super fat burner on the treadmill

I just talked about this in my last post, but it's buried in the middle of a bunch of potentially boring exercise recap and I want to make it easier to find.

Here's my favorite new fat-burning exercise, courtesy of awesome Trainer A at Olympic Athletic Club:

• Get on the treadmill.

• Set the incline to 15%.

• Set the pace at 1.5-2mph.

• Start walking and keep your heart rate at 60% of your maximum; reduce the speed on the treadmill if it goes much higher than that.

• Go as long as you like -- half an hour to an hour.

That's it, easy as pie! Don't know how to determine your maximum heart rate? It's simple, just subtract your age from 220, then do the math to find out what 60% of that is. No heart rate monitor? No worries. Most treadmills have hand sensors that can read your heart rate, or you can always do it the old-fashioned way: take your pulse for 10 seconds, then multiply by 6.

Enjoy!
