7 get-Started walking tips from leslie Sansone
(MyFitnessPal.com)
1. Wear comfortable, supportive shoes
2. Drink water: Proper hydration is critical.
3. Get off the couch: When you're just starting out, try
walking indoors.
4. Add in power moves: Try incorporating multi-muscle
movements.
5. Log your effort: Tracking your miles is always a helpful
practice, and it's much easier to monitor the number of
calories you burn when you do.
6. Set a goal: I recommend walking 3 to 5 times per week
for general health, and 4 to 6 times per week if your goal
is to lose weight.
7. Take it up a notch: Pick up the pace or do short bursts of
increased speed.
The class consists of six different Leslie Sansone "Walk Fit"
DVDs. The easy-to-follow routines are set to music with varied
tempo. No memorization of routines is required. Three of the
DVDs incorporate resistance bands. You can tailor the class to
your own needs. The hour class is a four mile walk. Leave early
or arrive later to shorten your walk. If you can't make it three
days a week, that's okay too.
