The simple way to figure out a 14% grade is to take the length of your treadmill track (i.e. 60 inches). If you raise one end of it 60 inches, you're raising it 100%. So calculate 14% as follows:
60 inches divided 100 = .60 times 14 (degrees) = 8.4 inches -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 5:39 PM To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] tread mill incline How do I figure out what angle a 14% grade is on a tread mill? I just had a stress test and was walking 3.5 mph at 14% incline. My treadmill goes no where near that. I think I would like to put some blocks under the front to take it to at least 10%. I did a lot of internet searches and found nothing that helps. Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_p age&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Groups Links
