How To Walk And Get Fit

Sport : Athletics

Many people think that to get fit through just using your legs, you have to jog or run.

However this is not true, and for many it is more practical - and more savvy to actually walk.

The key is to walk at a quick pace that challenges you and gets your heart rate up. If you can do that, then you can get fit very effectively from brisk and quick walking.

In fact there is a big benefit to this method - it places much less stress on the body than jogging does, because the foot is coming down from much less height to the ground, reducing the impact on joints.

So for a lower impact free workout, choose a brisk walk over a bumpy jog!
