During the second week of your fitness walking program increase the distance you cover and also increase your pace. At the end of 14 days you should be walking for approximately 30 minutes and you’ll be surprised at how far you can walk.
This will be a good time to review your eating habits and establish healthy patterns. You will accomplish a lot more if you maintain a healthy lifestyle while establishing your life-changing and possibly life-saving walking program.
When you enter your third week of your 21-day walking program you should consider introducing a few hills or stairs into your daily walk. At the end of three weeks you’ll be well established in your fitness walking program, you should be aware of an increased energy level and also be noticing some weight loss – especially if you’ve modified your eating habits during this period.
You can now continue your fitness program by walking at a smart pace for around 45 minutes at least three times a week. The benefits to your health will be ongoing and noticeable.
Beginning a walking program can help you reduce your weight and reduce your risk of coronary heart disease, increase your bone density, reduce stress and benefit the joints. Walking keeps you active, increases mental alertness, boosts your energy levels and improves your overall well-being.
Walking off the weight may be just what the doctor ordered but remember to consult your doctor before beginning this or any other exercise program, especially if you're overweight and haven’t exercised on a regular basis for some time. Walking for fitness may just save your life.

Walking For Fitness
Walking is the easiest and best form of exercise to increase your fitness levels and your overall health and fitness. It’s easy to get started, you can set your own achievable goals and, best of all, it’s free!
Others may encourage you to join a gym, however, you may lack the confidence to begin exercising in such a public way. Walking for fitness will give you the flexibility to exercise whenever and wherever you want.
Initially you may find setting a schedule helpful while you establish your walking routine. For the first 21 days set aside a definite time each day for your walking program. Write the schedule in your daily planner and don’t let anything come between you and your daily walk. Why? Because too often exercise commitments are broken because you put someone else’s needs before your own. For 21 days you are going to put your own health and well being first!
Starting your fitness walking program is much easier than joining a gym. In fact, the only equipment you’ll need will be a comfortable pair of walking shoes,
although taking along a MP3 player and headphones can help you set and maintain a steady pace. Walking to music will encourage you to keep up your step and listening to inspirational or motivational speakers while walking can often encourage you to walk a greater distance!
If you are new to exercise begin your new fitness walking program slowly. Start with a daily 10-minute walk at a moderate pace before increasing to a 20-minute walk. By the end of your first week of walking you should be able to comfortably walk for 20 minutes.
