Before you start
Set up the movement.
- 01
Use a treadmill incline or a steady outdoor hill.
- 02
Choose a grade that does not require holding the handrails.
- 03
Keep steps short enough to maintain an upright torso.
One useful cue
Keep the first rep repeatable.
Stand tall, use a natural arm swing and choose an incline that does not require the handrails.
Training use
Purpose before prescription.
Incline walking keeps the aerobic purpose while reducing repeated landing impact.
Walk a flat route at a brisk but repeatable effort when no incline is available.
