Weight Loss Made Easy

For the sixth week of the walking routine, and every week thereafter, we are going to see if you can do your walk a little bit faster, and eventually turn this into a jog or even running. How fast were you able to do your walking routine last week?

This week you are going to try to decrease the amount of time it takes you to do your walk even further. Go the same distance that you’ve been doing, but this time try to do it faster. Eventually you’ll be able to do this in less than half an hour. At that point you’ll want to start adding in distance again.

To increase your heart rate and your calorie burning ability you are going to add some bursts of either speed walking or jogging into the routine every couple minutes. Please check with your doctor before starting any exercise routine if you’re not used to exercising.

Three days this week you are going to go for a walk and you are going to walk faster (or jog) than before. Every few minutes try to walk even faster or jog (or maybe even try running) for one minute. Then walk (or jog) 3-5 more minutes. Then walk fast or jog for another minute. Do this for the whole walk.

Don’t forget to do your 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down before starting to walk faster. It’s important to get your body ready to exercise and just as important to cool down before stopping.

See how fast you can do your walk this week. Please, post your results here! I’d love to see how you’re doing.
