21-Day Fitness Walking Program

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.
