Step It Up, Then Slow It Down and Repeat

If you can do a good thirty minute walk you can get more exercise value out of it by adding some different speed to your routine. Walk in intervals of slow and fast and push yourself a bit. Speed walking has as much aerobic value as jogging, and is a lot easier on your joints. Here’s how.

• Walk at your usual pace for three minutes.
• Increase the speed for one minute.
• Go back to your normal speed for three minutes.
• Repeat this till you hit your 30 minutes.

As you get more fit increase the fast time and decrease the slow. Of course ask your doctor about pushing yourself to a faster pace. I think you’ll find that your doctor is pleased with your efforts. They don’t hear that a lot.

TODAY: TRY AT LEAST ONE FASTER INTERVAL OF WALKING.
