Can treadmill incline cause..

I do 30 minutes on treadmill, 7 days a week on highest incline. I alternate 4.0, 4.5 each day. I have noticed that my hips and butt have been bloated, they stay bloated for about a week or so then go back down then a few days later back to bloat. I know its not fat because I can grab the bloated skin and there is nothing under it and it goes away and comes back. I drink alot of water 10 plus cups a day, I do not eat alot of salt/sodium or fattening foods, I eat pretty much healthy. If I was to eliminate the incline one week, then go back to incline and alternate this weekly, will this stop the bloat?

Sounds like you have water retention.

sounds like water retention

do see your doctor

It sounds like water retention. I also was wlaking 3 miles a day on my treadmill on the highest incline. I started mixing up my exercise routine b/c I started building more muscle in my upper legs and buttocks and I actually had to buy a size bigger jeans. My weight stayed the same, just bigger upper legs and rear. But if you can squeeze and there is nothing there, it sounds like water. Good luck!!
