Story summary

Incline walking can burn more calories than jogging on flat terrain, influenced by individual factors.
A 150-pound person may burn approximately 238 calories jogging for 30 minutes, while incline walking can burn between 300 to 800 calories.
This exercise targets more muscles, especially the glutes, hamstrings, and calves.
It offers a lower-impact option, reducing stress on knee joints, which benefits those with joint issues.
Experts suggest starting at an 8-10% incline and gradually increasing speed and incline, along with post-workout stretching for muscle recovery.
