Hello! I have been using treadmill 6 months ago. I have been using it regularly, like almost every day for about 45 mins. The thing is that I haven’t seen any improvement! How many calories can one burn on the treadmill? Thank you

Hello! I don’t think that the number of calories burnt is the point with treadmill or any other exercise. I mean, it is important but even more important is to combine diet with exercise. If you want to lose weight your calorie intake must be less than your calorie output. Also, you have to intensify your exercise as you get fitter. Your body gets fitter after a few weeks of exercising, so you need to set new goals in order to burn the same calories. If you need help with a diet you can always find a nutritionist to help you.

Yes obviously the key to losing weight is to create a calorie deficit. That is exactly why its important to know how many calories one burns on a treadmill ?!?!

In Response to Conny, I'm not sure if I simply misunderstood you, but your intake must be less than your output? That's physically impossible, because you would die. If for example one needs 1200 calories a day for their diet, you're saying they must burn more than that? Its not possible for the body to exist without a certain amount of calories. I dont know the exact breakdown, but a percent of your daily caloric intake is for survival, and a percent is stored as fat. The idea is to eat what is required for survival and energy in combination with a healthy amount of exercise.

you obviously have no idea what you're talking about... i really hope nobody actually took your idiotic input on dieting seriously. The idea of a DIET is to consume LESS calories than you burn so your body is forced to use reserves for energy (I.E. body fat) to compensate for the difference. You probably still don't understand... so lets put it this way, when you eat an excess of calories your body will store this excess energy as fat (of course depending on your metabolism), in order to reverse that process and use that fat as energy...well why don;t you guess what you have to do..... FORCE YOUR BODY TO USE IT'S RESERVES!!!!!! We're talking weight loss and dieting..

Wow, you are so rude! It's funny because you're actually wrong. I'm going to a weight loss clinic and everything the last person you called an idiot said was correct. Get your facts straight lady.
