Warm up walking 5 minutes at an easy effort level- then walk total of 20 minutes at a brisk pace. Cool down walking 5 minutes.

Missed a workout? No worries, if you missed a day or two, simply carry on with the scheduled program. If you missed more than a few days, ease back into it with two or three shorter, easy paced walks and then merge back to where you left off.


Thursday - Rest

Share your goals with your family and friends. You just may motivate your buddies to get out there and do it with you!

Never underestimate the power of a 20-30 minute walk. It gets your circulation moving, decreases stress and refreshes your mind.

If you're running short on time and can't get in the full 40 minute workout, walk for 20 minutes and it will maintain your fitness and boost your mood.

Warm up walking 5 minutes at an easy effort level- then walk total of 40 minutes at a brisk pace. Cool down walking 5 minutes.

Keeping a log of your training is a great way to begin to see how your body acclimates to the training. You can use it to evaluate what does and does not work for you.


Sunday - Rest

You'll grow faster as your body adapts and gets stronger. For now, keep the pace easy and conversational.
