Walking for WomenWalking for Women by Ken Smith Walking is a low impact exercise that gives you
both cardio and toning results. Walking can be done at your
own pace alone or with a partner, and gives consistent
results. It is a great exercise for all fitness levels, but is especially good for someone who is new to exercise. You can start out at a moderate pace and once you build up your endurance you can increase both your speed and distance. It is also a very low cost exercise. Very little equipment is needed to begin a walking routine. The one requirement is a good pair of walking shoes. By investing in the proper shoes you can help prevent injury as well as increase the effectiveness of your routine. Some people opt to buy special exercise clothes, but that is totally optional. You want to make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the weather, but most people already have what they need in their closet. Walking for Women - 3 Important Steps
Walking for Women - What's Your Speed? The speed at which you walk depends on your fitness level. However, you should be able to talk to your partner, or carry on a conversation at all times through your work out, without being out of breath. If you are unsure if you are walking too fast, use the “talk test”. If you find that you can not carry on a conversation without loosing your breath you should walk at a slower pace. Walking is a great exercise for women because it is low impact and still effective. It also helps to lose weight without bulking up your muscles. Providing cardio and toning at the same time is also a big advantage. Many women are very busy and find it hard to fit in several different types of workouts in a single day. While walking helps you to lose weight, it also helps to maintain weight loss. If you have successfully reached your goal weight, walking can help you stay there.
