Monday - Power Walk
This is one of the
easiest activities to add to your daily routine.
Barring a disability,
most of us walk everyday. We have grown up walking, jogging and running. Most times people start exercising by walking
and or running. That is often the only
exercise people do.
This is because it is
easy and effective.
You can do this
inside on a treadmill, but I suggest outside.
The varied terrain and wind resistance will make for a better
exercise. It is also mentally soothing
to go for a walk outside.
This is not a casual
stroll though, you will want to keep your pace up on this walk. If power walk
is too tame for you, you can also jog or run.
How To’s & Tips

In power walking posture
counts. Stand up straight as possible. This
will allow all your muscles through the core to work together and it will help
you walk faster.

Walk with your arms close to
body and a 90 degree angle at the elbow.
