Walking Workouts to Lose Weight
9
Livestrong posted an article today about walking workouts and how to do it correctly to lose weight. I walk daily during lunch except when its 100°+ like it has been this summer here in Southern California. I enjoy Powerwalking and I guess I have done Interval Speed Walking as well I just didn’t really know what it was called until now. I’m 6’3″ so I have a long stride which lets me cover a larger distance which is mainly why I go walking by myself, ask my 5 year old she pretty much has to run when ever she walks with me even at my normal pace.
Swing by LiveStrong and check out their article:
Walking is a great way to lose weight, and you can walk almost anywhere at any time. All you need to begin is a supportive pair of shoes that fit well and provide cushioning.
Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that is gentle on your ankles, knees and hips. It has the added benefit of fighting osteoporosis by increasing bone density. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
