Walk + Tone: Day 1
Aerobic Workout
Follow these three simple steps--it should take you less than 30 minutes--to get your heart pumping with fat-burning aerobic exercise.
Step 1: Warm-Up
Five minutes. (Do the activity of your choice at a light exercise pace.)
Step 2: Aerobic Activity
20 minutes walking outdoors with a friend, or on a treadmill (add more time as you grow stronger). You may substitute an activity of your choice for walking, such as: jumping rope, riding a stationary bike, or dancing to your favorite music. Remember to cool down by slowing your pace during the last five minutes of your workout.
Step 3: Stretch
Five minutes. Definition: slow, gradual, and controlled elongation of a muscle through its full range of motion, held for 15 to 30 seconds in the furthest comfortable position (without pain), says Chad Tackett.
