Incline walking works because it hits the sweet spot most people overlook. High-intensity cardio has its place and can be useful, but it also ramps up hunger and can take a toll on your recovery if you rely on it too much. Walking on an incline burns a steady amount of calories, keeps hunger in check, and doesn’t interfere with your training. You can sprinkle in sprints or harder sessions when they make sense, but the bulk of your cardio can just be walking. It’s sustainable, low impact, and it actually supports the rest of your routine instead of interfering it.
