Walk Your Way to Good Health . . . 30 days to a New You!

Walk Your Way to Good Health . . . 30 days to a New You!

The weather is beautiful and you have no more excuses for putting off starting that walking program you’ve been intending to start since January!

JTA has designed a walking plan for you! Follow this simple routine and you will be astonished at the results you see in 30 days!   Our plan will boost your calorie burn by alternating a variety of walking routines – everything from moderately paced jaunts to high-speed intervals. You will want to start and finish each of your workouts with 5 minutes of slow walking to warm up and cool down.

Easy Walk – Monday, Wednesday & Friday

It’s ‘easy’ because you really will not be pushing yourself hard. The goal is to walk at a pace that you might use if you were running late to an appointment. You should feel a slightly elevated heart rate.

Interval Walk – Tuesday & Thursday

Here’s where you will pick up the pace – and your calorie burn – for about 30 to 90 seconds – before slowing down to catch your breath. During the speed interval, you should be walking so that you’re breathing hard.

Speed Walk – Saturday

Pick an easy to remember route that will take about 30 minutes to complete at a fast pace. Each week, try to cover the same distance in less time.

Long Walk – Sunday

This is your endurance workout. Walk at a pace you can comfortably sustain for the recommended time. Focus on enjoying your walk, not on your pace.
