Fitness Walking!

     Good morning!! I wanted to bring up some helpful tips about walking. I originally started out just going for a nice walk every day. The past 2 weeks I have started kicking up my pace. Let me tell you, I can tell a difference! My legs feel the burn by the end, and trying to hold your abdomen in the correct position is definitely a challenge! These are two great sites with tons of fitness advice. I also love Map My Walk! You can do this!

"The hurry-up pace will be the one that demands more oxygen to working muscles, and that’s how fitness walking gets you big results.
Here’s my most important tip for walkers. It’s not the foot strike. It’s not the arm swing. It’s the “belly-button-to-spine” action that will make the walk more effective, protect your back, and get your abs in on the action. I call it a “tummy tuck.” Draw the belly button toward the spine. That deep layer of muscle is key to supporting your back. It stabilizes the middle of the body so that the legs can move with much more power."
