Walk Off 10 Pounds in 3 Weeks

Speed-Burst Intervals

Warm up by walking at a moderate pace on a mostly flat course for 10 minutes. Next, begin your intervals: Walk as fast as you possibly can for 1 minute (get breathless!), then walk at a moderate pace for 1 minute; repeat the sequence for a total of 10 times. Cool down with 5 minutes of easy walking.

Long-Hill Intervals

To warm up, walk briskly on a mostly flat surface for 10 minutes. Begin walking up a moderately steep hill (the longer the hill, the better). Walk up at a hard pace—it should feel challenging and slightly uncomfortable: You shouldn’t be able to speak a full sentence (but don’t push so intensely that you’re breathless).

When you reach the top, immediately walk back down the hill; as soon as you get to the bottom of the hill, walk back up it. Repeat for a total of 25 minutes, then walk at an easy pace for 5 minutes to cool down.

Here’s how it works: You eat about 300 calories for breakfast, 400 calories for lunch, 500 calories for dinner, and one 100-calorie snack.

Combine this diet with our walking plan, and you’ll ditch up to 10 pounds in 21 days.
