Today's workout is walking. Earlier this month, we asked you to up the ante on your walking times — and go beyond 20 minutes. We're halfway through the challenge: How are you doing?
Varying the lengths of your walks not only keeps them more interesting and challenging, but also encourages your cardiovascular and muscular system to work in different ways.
Changing it up and keeping your body guessing can help with weight loss (if that's one of your goals) and improves muscle endurance, stamina and cardiovascular health. |
