About Randy Broderdorf Expertise I can answer your questions about aerobic fitness with regard to proper clinical, biomechanical, physiological and energy system development. Find out what really works for a variety of clients with a variety of situations and goals. Aerobic exercise is in fact a form or resistance exercise, whether from ground reaction forces, body weight or exercise equipment. Although I have taught various group fitness and athletic conditioning classes, my specialty IS NOT choreography or aerobic class routines. I specialize in the areas of proven and safe fat loss; the proper biomechanics of resistance and aerobic training and sport performance (male and female); muscle size, strength and power enhancement; energy system development; athletic strength and conditioning and corrective and clinical exercise strategies for injuries and at risk populations and those with structural inefficiencies or concerns.

Question Randy,
Is there a formula to calculate calories burned when on a treadmill that allows you to measure speed, weight, and inclination but not calories burned?
thanks!
Vanessa
Answer Hi Vanessa,
After I sent the response to your question asking for clarification it dawned on me what you were asking. Sorry for the brain fart.
Here is a website that calculates how many calories are burned based on your body weight and time doing the activity.
Simply put in your personal data and it will give you an entire list of various activities. Just look for running at the various speeds to get a good idea how many calories you're burning. On a treadmill an incline of "2" would closely mimic the extra push required when actually running on the ground outdoors.
Here is another calorie calculator you can use to compare to get a medium.
I hope this helps. I know there are charts that also factor in various inclines on a treadmill but after a number of searches I couldn’t seem to find them.
Take care and keep training intelligently!
