Well the holidays are over, so LET'S GET IT STARTED!!! Are you asking yourself where to begin? Well you must crawl before you walk. Soooo start walking. Between now and January 15 make it a point to get out and get moving. Walking is a great exercise and an excellent way to start off your fitness challenge especially on the colder days.
You don't want to shock your body with too much to soon so time release your excitement and getting fit and start slow. Here's how:
-Commit to doing a brisk 15min walk 3 times a day for 4 days this week. Don't worry the January chill will help you to keep a brisk pace about a 5 on the exertion scale (of 1-10).
-The mistake most of us make while walking is that we don't walk fast enough, so if you want to know if you are walking fast enough try throwing on your favorite iPod jam and start singing you should be somewhat breathless as you do this. This is would be about a 5 on the exertion scale (of 1-10).
-For an added calorie burn swing your arms.
-If you are not just starting out then please follow the Cool Runnings Couch to 5K training plan it works!
