FITNESS TIP: Should I hold on to the treadmill when walking at an incline? No, because our tendency is to grab the bar for dear life and lean back. In a recent study, treadmill walkers who did this on a steep incline burned significantly fewer calories than those who stayed upright while walking on a moderate grade. It makes sense when you think about what happens naturally when you walk up a hill. You lean forward, which recruits your calf, glute and hamstring muscles and increases expenditure.
