Walking Workouts (Page 1 of 2)

General Instructions:
For each workout, be sure to stretch after 10 minutes and do some easy stretching after the workout. For the workouts above 70% of MHR, do a 10 minute warm-up walk at an easy pace, stretch, then speed up to the suggested rate. When the faster walking is done, slow down to an easy pace for 10 minutes and finish with stretching.

Easy Health Walk: 30 minutes daily at 50-60% of MHR. This is a purposeful but comfortable pace. Builds long-term health and well-being.

Weight Control Walk: 65-70% of MHR for 45-60 minutes daily. This is a brisk pace with noticeable breathing but you can still carry on a conversation. The longer time period at this moderate pace will burn calories and give the body time to draw on its fat stores for energy.
