Tip #15 Say Good-bye to Boring Walks

If you have access to a treadmill, an outdoor road, a mall, indoor track or even a yard that allows you to walk laps around the house, you can do this simple walking workout! And this isn't a drab walking experience. This is a time-flying efficient workout that's good for you-mind, body, and spirit,
Today you need to go for a thirty-minute interval-training walk.The interval training part is what makes it fun. Here's how you do it:

  1. Start with three to five minutes of walking at a moderate pace to warm up.
  2. Next, walk as fast as you can, taking short quick steps and pumping your arms, for one minute.
  3. Then go back to a challenging but doable pace for one minute.
  4. Repeat the cycle for twenty-four minutes (about twelve times)
  5. Cool down with an easy walk for three to five minutes.

   That's it. Work hard-and push it-for one minute. Then work at a moderate pace for one minute. Then repeat, repeat,repeat, and walk your way to a better health!
