Is incline walking good for weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight and have started going to the gym regularly. My trainer suggested doing incline walking on the treadmill. Is incline walking actually effective for burning calories and helping with weight loss?

Oh, it is absolutely great if you love feeling like you are climbing Mt. Everest inside an AC gym! Jokes apart, it burns almost double the calories of normal walking, so go for it.

Incline walking is actually a cheat code for cardio, yaar. You don't even have to run, just set the treadmill to 10 incline and 5 speed and you will start sweating like crazy in ten minutes.

I was worried if incline walking would hurt my knees, so I did so much research. It turns out it's very safe if you start slow, like a 2% or 3% incline first, and then gradually build up.

I totally get it, trying to find the best workout for weight loss can feel so confusing. Incline walking is actually very gentle on the joints compared to running, while still helping you burn good calories.

Haan, bilkul badhiya option hai weight loss ke liye. Bas ek baat yaad rakhna, workout ke sath khane pe bhi dhyan dena, nahi toh sirf walking se koi fayda nahi hoga.
