RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Do you ever do cardio with an incline or while wearing weights? Adding resistance, is beneficial for burning more calories & increasing quickness with the weights, but in the long term is not worth the added stress put on your joints and ligaments = injuries. The only safe cardio exercise for an incline is walking. Instead, increase the intensity by doing 60 seconds fast 60 seconds slow intervals for just 25 minutes.

Safety with exercise should be priority #1! You might not feel any pain right now, but putting unnecessary pressure to your joints/ligaments/spine will add up and eventually lead to injury. Think about your future.
