Running on the treadmill on an incline

pacificnwrider Posts: 8 Joined: 2007/01/15	2007/02/10, 11:40 PM I've been running on the treadmill at an incline and feeling like I'm getting a much better cardio and training my calves and glutes much better. Could anybody tell me what the benefits of training with the treadmill on an incline are? THANKS!
