Walk Uphill For a Better Workout
If you really want to burn more calories, but you want to stay walking and you don’t want to take up anything like jogging, try walking uphill instead. Walking uphill burns a lot more calories than just walking on a flat surface.
You’ll also tone your lower body when you walk uphill. As you walk up the hill you’ll work your legs, back and stomach muscles. Try to find a hill and walk up and down it for a good workout.
If you don’t have a hill set your treadmill’s incline at 10%. Walk uphill for a minute or two, then turn around and walk downhill. Keep doing this for at least half an hour.
