There are benefits to elevating the treadmill incline, including improved cardiovascular function, higher caloric burn, and glute strengthening. This is the best possible form of cardio outside of running, as you're using your entire body. That's unlike when you're on a bike or elliptical, where the machine is helping your movement, causing less effort on your part. It's also low-impact, which is easier on your joints—especially for those who are having knee pain or low back pain.
