Walking Workouts

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 by Dea.

One of the simplest ways to get more exercise into the daily routine is to simply walk.  There are smaller ways to get more walking into your day, and there are more complex workouts you can do to rev up your fitness.

The easy ways to add walking into life are silly, at times, but they help.  Every little bit helps.  Things like parking further away from a building, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and taking the long way around a block instead of cutting diagonally across can all add steps to your day.

However, there are some wonderful ways to ramp up the simple act of walking, something we’ve all done since we were about 1 year of age, into a great work out.  This site lists  different kinds of workouts, like walking for health, fat burning, cardio challenge, and economy walks.  All of these types are good for anyone interested in becoming healthier.  In fact, I intend to fit more of these into my day.  With this fabulous, crisp fall weather, I want to be outside whenever it isn’t raining.

There are a lot more sites with great walking workout information, and if any of them inspire you to lace up your sneakers and hit the trail, please let me know.  The most important thing is that this is a great fitness boost for FREE.  I love no-cost movement!  It’s good for your heart, and your wallet!
