According to the Department of Health, bumping your treadmill time to 300 minutes a week can result in extensive health benefits, including weight loss. You can reach this goal by walking 43 to 44 minutes each day or walking 60 minutes five days a week. If your time on the treadmill gets a bit dull or you feel pressed for time, consider splitting one long workout session into shorter 10-minute sessions.
In fact, I had read years ago that fast walking burns more calories than running at the same speed. Now was the time to test this hypothesis. Wearing a heart-rate monitor, I ran on a treadmill for two minutes at 3.0 mph (20 minutes per mile), and at 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 mph (10:55 per mile).
