Yea definitely, walking on a treadmill is great. its low intensity so it will use fat as its main source of energy. Its not going to give you the same kind of metabolic boost that running does to make you burn for hours and hours afterwards, but walking is still great. Make sure you do at least 30 minutes tho, you don't burn a whole lot of calories walking, but its easy so you can do it longer, with less pain and soreness. I like to do about 45 when i do a walking session.

Walking keeps your heart rate up witch puts you in the fat burning zone so you will lose weight but i suggest you go on youtube and look up impatientdieter that's her user name it really really works cause it worked for me

If your mom wants to lose weight then just buying a treadmill won't do it. Diet is the number one thing that effects weight loss. She could walk on it all she wants but as long as she's eating unhealthily then she's not going to lose any pounds. What she needs to do is change her diet to be full of lean protein (like grilled chicken or tuna) and veggies and eat about 5 small meals a day. Then speed walk (it burns more calories than jogging) on a treadmill on an incline for 30- 45 minutes a day. The combo of a perfect diet and daily cardio will result in around 4- 5 pounds lost in a week.
