Here is your 4 Week Walking Plan*
WEEK 1: Make It a Habit
The goal is to walk every day. Aim for 30 minutes at a moderate pace on at least 3 days. The other 4 days, get out for at least 15 minutes. Being consistent is more important than walking for long periods of time this week.
WEEK 2: Go a Little Longer
Build your endurance by walking farther 3 days this week (try extending your 30 minutes walks to 45 minutes). On the other days, walk for at least 15 minutes (30 is great too!) and keep a brisk pace.
WEEK 3: Kick It Up
You will burn more calories when you add intervals to your walks. On 3 days, alternate one minute of fast walking with 2 minutes of moderately paced walking. You´ll also do another long walk this week to continue to build endurance.
WEEK 4: Put It All Together
Intervals, long walks and a routine: You´ve got all the tools now! If you need a rest day, take it between interval days.

Walking Boosters*
Add a few muscle-building moves to your walks twice a week for extra calorie burning. Add to the benefits by doing planks and push-ups once you get home.
Squat: Stand with hip-width apart. Bend knees and lower body as if you are about to sit on a chair. Keep knees over toes. Hold for 1 count, then stand back up. Repeat 10 times. |
