Experts have been telling us to get up and walk to get healthy for years. Many do not believe that becoming healthy and fit could be as easy as putting on a pair of sneakers and heading out the door. But not all ways of walking are the same when it comes to getting you into shape.
The type of walking that you do everyday around your house will eventually get you to you goals. However, to supercharge your workout, look at a new way of walking. One of the best ways to walk is to do interval training when you walk. This routine will supercharge your workout routine.
The best part about interval training when it comes to walking is you can get twice the workout in about half the time that it would normally take you. This means that you can hit your snooze button a few extra times in the morning before you head out for your walk.
Interval training is all about increasing your heart rate at short bursts. It takes more energy to increase and decrease your heart rate than to keep it steady. When you walk at a steady rate throughout your workout you miss that added energy burn of the continual increase and decrease. Using this type of walking will take some getting used to.
Interval walking in a basic way is easy to do. You need to set a scale as far as exertion for you goes. Look at the scale as being 1 to 10. Level 1 would be lounging in front of your TV. Level 10 would be sprinting. Begin your walking with five minutes of walking at a moderate pace. This pace would be a level 6 or 7. For the next five minutes you will want to increase your pace to a level 8 or 9. You need to continue alternating between the two paces for the rest of your workout.
To help you to know when to change paces in your workout, you can record a workout tape. On this workout tape you can alternate slow and fast songs to remind you what speed that you should be walking at. You can do interval walking outside or you can do it on your treadmill. It is an easy workout to use no matter where you are.
Interval training is one of the most effective walking workouts there is. You can burn twice the amount of calories that you would normally do out on you regular walk. There are also ways to make this walking workout even more effective as a way to achieve your fitness goals. You can stop after two rounds of increasing and decreasing your walking pace and do some squats and lunges.
The sky is the limit when you include interval walking into your workout routine.
