"Walking is a gentle, low-impact cardio exercise that can ease you into a
higher level of fitness and health. It's safe and simple. And regular
brisk walking can provide many of the benefits of more vigorous
exercises, such as jogging (Mayo Clinic "Walk for Weight Loss")."
We will be using the schedule from the Mayo Clinic for the ten weeks of our challenge. You are welcome to incorporate as much additional exercise into your routine as you wish.
For week one, choose two days that you have a minimum of 15 minutes to walk. You can walk with a friend, or by yourself; on your lunch-break, or before or after work. What matters is that you schedule the time, and that you walk.
Your walk should start slow and easy, to allow time for your muscles to warm up. Once you warm up, try to increase your pace; to a comfortable but brisk walk.
At the end of your walk, add in a couple of minutes to cool down - do some simple stretching, or slow walking to allow your heart rate to decrease. If you're in a place where you have easy access to the internet you may find this cool-down stretching video helpful.
