28-Day Challenge (Day 15) "Walking Workouts to Burn Fat and Boost Energy"

Walking Workouts to Burn Fat and Boost Energy

 

 

 14walking-1 

 

13. Walking Workout: Sculpt All Over                                                                                            Time: 25 to 40 minutes

 

During this workout, you’ll intersperse strength moves as you walk, for cardio plus toning. Using the lottery approach (below) from Lee Scott to pick your exercises will prevent boredom and challenge new muscles. 

 

The workout: Write at least 9 no-equipment strength moves (unless you’re walking indoors and have equipment handy) on pieces of paper. Vary exercises to hit all major muscle groups, such as walking lunges, bench push-ups, tricep dips, planks, and power jumps. Drop them in a jar and draw 3 out before a walk. Warm up at an easy pace for 3 to 5 minutes, then walk briskly for 5 to 10 minutes. Stop and do one of the strength moves. Repeat the brisk walking (5 to 10 minutes), followed by the next strength move. Repeat once more to complete the final move. Cool down for 5 minutes at an easy pace.

 

 

14. Walking Workout: Indoor Leg Toner                                                                                              Time: 5 minutes (Easy home routine!) 

Do this quick workout anywhere there are stairs to double your calorie burn. Prevention reader Barb Best of Erie, PA, posted it at the bottom of her stairs as a reminder to do it.

 

1. Walk up and down 1 flight normally. 

2. Slowly walk up sideways, crossing bottom foot over top. Keep head up. Walk down normally. Repeat, facing the opposite direction. 

3. Step up on first stair, then down, starting with right foot (right up, left up, right down, left down) 10 times. Repeat, starting with left foot. 

4. Climb stairs 2 steps at a time; come down quickly using each step. 

5. Run up; walk down normally. 

6. Repeat numbers 4 and 5 another 4 times. 

7. At bottom, place right foot on first or second step, bend knees, and lower into a lunge. Keep right knee directly over ankle as you do so. Push off with right foot to return to start. Repeat with left leg. Alternate legs for 20 lunges, total. 

8. Walk up and down normally 1 time.
