Let's Talk About Weight Loss in Chicago with LISS Training by Dennis Romatz


I am a reputable weight loss specialist and personal trainer based in Chicago with extensive experience in helping individuals achieve their fitness goals through effective exercise techniques. I emphasize the significance of LISS training for fat burning, as it provides a low-impact, sustained cardiovascular workout that utilizes fat as the primary fuel source.

Using the treadmill at your Chicago apartment gym, under the guidance of a knowledgeable personal trainer like myself, you can maximize the benefits of LISS training for weight loss. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you structure your LISS treadmill workouts effectively:

  1. Warm-up: Begin your workout session by dedicating 5-10 minutes to a proper warm-up routine. This step is crucial for preparing your body for exercise and minimizing the risk of injury. During the warm-up, you can engage in a brisk walk or a light jog on the treadmill to increase your heart rate gradually, warm up your muscles and start to oxidize fat so it can be used as a fuel source to move your body and burn calories. YEs, you got it correct...we use body fat as a fuel source to burn calories and essentially rid the body of fat. Pretty cool process that works in your favor. That's why I say losing weight is really very easy.

  2. Set the treadmill to a low-intensity level: Fine-tune the settings of your treadmill to match your fitness level and optimize your fat-burning LISS workout. Adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill to a comfortable level that allows you to maintain a steady-state effort throughout the session.

  3. Choose an appropriate time duration: The duration of your LISS workout will depend on your fitness level, schedule, and overall goals. I will help you determine the ideal length for your workout sessions. Starting with 20-30 minutes is a good baseline, and as your endurance improves, you can gradually increase the duration. My weight loss clients who use LISS to burn fat burn approximately 520 calories in 60 minutes when walking on a treadmill flat at 4.0 - 4.2 speed.

  4. Maintain a consistent pace: To reap the benefits of LISS training, consistency is key. Once you've established a suitable pace on the treadmill, strive to maintain it throughout the workout. Avoid significant variations in speed or incline. The goal is to sustain a moderate intensity level that allows you to have a conversation without feeling excessively breathless.

  5. Monitor your heart rate: While LISS training doesn't require meticulous heart rate monitoring, it can be helpful to gauge your exertion level and optimize fat burning. Training for weight loss with me, you can learn to listen to your body and aim for a heart rate in the moderate range, typically around 50-70% of your maximum heart rate. Within a very short period of time, you'll understand, know and memorize the exact speeds you need to peg your desired heart rate to burn maximum fat in LISS.

Working closely with a weight loss coach in Chicago like myself or one of my staff weight loss coaches at Dennis Romatz Fitness in Chicago can provide you with the knowledge and support needed to make the most of your LISS treadmill workouts. My expertise can help you tailor your workout program to suit your specific needs, taking into account factors such as your current fitness level, preferences, and weight loss goals.


As your LISS treadmill session comes to an end, it's essential to cool down properly. Gradually decrease the treadmill speed and spend 5-10 minutes engaging in a cooldown routine. This cooldown period allows your heart rate to gradually return to its resting state and helps prevent dizziness or discomfort. To further aid in recovery and promote flexibility, consider incorporating some post-workout stretching exercises.

Incorporating LISS training into your fitness routine, with the guidance of a weight loss specialist and personal trainer like myself in Chicago, can significantly contribute to your weight loss journey. However, keep in mind that exercise alone is just one component of a comprehensive approach to weight management. It's crucial to pair your LISS workouts with a balanced diet and other forms of exercise, such as strength training, for optimal results. You'll also get nutrition coaching from me during your LISS workouts to ensure the food component of weight loss is always in check.


Choosing myself, Dennis Romatz or one of my weight loss coaches at Dennis Romatz Fitness as your personal trainer in Chicago will guide you towards achieving your weight loss goals through the power of LISS training and optimized treadmill workouts. Your Chicago apartment gym can become the perfect setting for your fat-burning journey. Losing weight has never been so intelligent and easy!
