Power Walking - Weight Loss Program

Pin It

Get ready to walk off  16 pounds or more in 8 Weeks!  This workout plan has been designed so you can burn more calories and sculpt your whole body. If you are a beginner and need a workout kick start this is just right for you. If you are not a beginner and already workout hard you can add these workout routines to your daily workouts.

Speed walking give you all the benifits of fat burn that running would but you must put some effort into your walk to make it pay off.

Step 1: Go buy yourself good walking shoes. This will reduce achy feet and knee soreness. Walking shoes are light weight, flexible and meant for the impact you will be taking on. Top 10 Best Athletic Shoes for Walking

Step 2: Find your walking pace. Measure a mile and then walk that mile.

Score:

• 20 minutes MILE is 3 mph
• 15 minutes MILE is 4 mph
• 13 minutes MILE is 4 1/2 mph
• 12 minutes MILE is 5 mph.

The faster your walking pace, the more calories you burn. When you first start off you might not be fast enough to even score on this score board. That's ok. Start at your fast pace and every 2 weeks time yourself again for your first mile and see your speed increase.

Step 3: Start your own Extreme Team walking group (optional)
Having a partner keeps you both accountable for regular exercise.Just spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors or work collegues. You will be surprisd to find that you are surrounded by people who are ready to go.

If you recruite your work colleagues start a friendly competition challenge. You can do a pedometer contest. The group or person with the most steps gets bragging rights or even a small prize. Just keep track of the number of minutes of activity for each person or group and see who comes out on top each week.
