I walk uphill on treadmill, set as uphill as it will go (15); 3.9 for 4 minutes then 4.2 for 6 minutes, for an hour. About twice a week I do an extra 15-30 minutes at a steady 4.
The machine says I burn about 850 calories an hour but I don't set my age/weight so it's actually a little less.
Hey morty, that's awesome!

I'm going to start adding inclines to my workouts again - I was doing it when I first started but it was really tough to keep up. Now I may be better able to handle it. I wish I could watch TV at the same time, but we have At&t u-verse now and the treadmill interferes with the signal. So I have to make do with music - if it wasn't for the intervals I don't think I could keep it up - its mind numbing..
