🍑 How to Burn More Fat After a Glute Workout: Running vs. Incline Walking?

Want to burn stubborn lower body fat while shaping your glutes? If you're doing strength training for your booty (and you should be!), pairing it with the right cardio after your session

can massively boost fat burn.

But here's the question:

What’s better after a glute workout—running or incline walking?

Let’s break it down 👇

🔥 Post-Workout Cardio: What’s Best for Fat Burn?

✅ Winner: Incline Walking

While running may burn more total calories, incline walking burns more fat—especially when you do it after lifting weights.

💪 Why Incline Walking Is Superior for Fat Loss:

1. Keeps You in the Fat-Burning Zone

Incline walking keeps your heart rate in the 60–75% range of your max HR, which is the sweet spot for using fat as a primary fuel source.

2. Tones and Activates Glutes

Walking on an incline targets your glutes, hamstrings, and calves—enhancing your lower body strength session.

3. Low Impact, Lower Stress

Unlike running, incline walking is gentle on your joints and reduces the risk of overtraining and high cortisol (which can actually hinder fat loss).
