Though it's tempting to blame your inability to lose weight despite running on a treadmill on not running fast enough or long enough, there's actually another reason that must be considered. I'm a certified personal trainer. Now, in general, if you haven't lost weight, or have dropped only a few pounds, despite doing a lot of running on best compact treadmills, the reason is because slow, steady-paced jogging doesn't pack as much of a punch for weight loss as does high intensity interval training.
But there's another reason to consider that will interfere with weight loss: holding onto the treadmill while running. This just won't cut it, even if it's a very fast speed. The faster you go, the harder your hand grip will be. Holding onto a treadmill while running significantly alters gait, and can lead to repetitive stress injuries in the hips and feet.
The calorie burn is substantially lower than if you ran the same speed without holding on. Whether the running is done in brief, fast intervals, or at a slower, prolonged pace, holding onto a treadmill will sabotage weight loss goals.
