Why Run When You Can Walk?


What is it?
Fitness Walking is walking done at an aerobic pace, which means that your heart will beat a little faster and you’ll breathe3 a little bit harder, but not so hard that you can’t maintain a conversation.

How much do I need?
Experts recommend 30 minutes on most, if not all, days of the week. If you can’t do 30 minutes at a time, try walking for shorter amounts and gradually working up to it. (Don’t worry. We have a plan to get you there.)


But is walking serious exericse?
Yes, check this out. Walking:

  • Strengthens heart and lungs and improves circulation
  • Prevents heart attacks and strokes
  • Reduces obesity and high blood pressure
  • Boosts metabolic rate
  • Favorably alters cholesterol level
  • Improves muscle tone in legs and abdomen
  • Reduces stress and tension

  • Best of all, you can do it almost anywhere and at any time. (It’s cheap, too!) But first, you’ll need the RIGHT EQUIPMENT.
