Your eventual goal should be 4 to 5 miles per hour. This would be a brisk walk - as if you were late for an important meeting or "walking with a purpose". If you can't walk this fast for 30-60 minutes, then start slower for a couple of weeks and you will improve. Also, in order to trigger the right type of calorie burning mode, it is important to start off slow and build into full speed - every walk. Your body will go into fat burning mode this way. If you start off fast right away, your body will burn off any sugar in your system for a quick burst of energy. Slowly building into speed will trigger the long-term energy burning mode, which uses your fat reserves - which is what you are trying to use up
The bottom line is to be able to sustain a steady walk for 30-60 minutes - however fast that is. Everyone is different, so go as fast as your current condition allows - you will improve over a 10 week period. The important think is to just do it.

∙ 9y agoThis depends on the distance you want to jog. You can jog faster for shorter distance. You need to jog rather slowly, for longer distance. You can jog at the speed of one kilometer per three to five minutes minute, normally.

∙ 9y agoThe best speed for you is the speed where you start getting light sweat and you actually feel your body working. Hard to define a specific speed, since it is determined on one's physical condition. The most important thing with walking on a treadmill is to actually walk quick, not just go with a low speed since it will not make your physical condition better. Some sweat and tears will be needed to progress on your treadmill.
