Want To Trim Down? Try Walking

Walking is an excellent way for any person with working legs to build up fitness.Here are some tips to create your own neighborhood walking workout:

1. Make sure you walk for at least 20 minutes to start efficiently burning fat! I would start by walking 5 minutes first, then start your intervals!

2. Wear a heart rate monitor to ensure you are burning fat and walking fast enough! Your goal is to keep your heart rate at 65-85% of your heart rate maximum! To determine your max, take 220 minus your age. That is your max and then you take 65-85% of that!
