2 min readDO YOU WANT to get into better shape? There’s a simple solution that doesn’t require fancy equipment or hard-earned fitness expertise. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other (and then repeat again, and again). Activity is an underrated key to overall health—especially if you're looking to lose weight—and the easiest thing you can do to ramp up your movement is to get walking. You just need the right plan.
That’s what you get with the new MH 4-Week Walking for Weight Loss Plan. The program, designed by MH Advisory Board Member David Otey, C.S.C.S., was built to give you the framework you need for more targeted, effective walking sessions that will help you shed pounds, build endurance, and even give you some sneaky muscle gains, too.
The four-week plan was created using three distinct types of walking workouts. They are:
Heart Rate Training
During these sessions, you’ll use target heart rate zones to set the intensity and pace of your walks. This will help to personalize your efforts, since other measures like speed will affect people differently depending on a range of factors.
Incline Training
You might’ve heard of walking protocols like 12-3-30, which use treadmills set at different heights to increase the challenge from a flat surface. This can help to strengthen your cardiovascular system and your muscles by ramping up the difficulty.
Distance Training
This is likely closer to what you’d expect from a walking program. For these workouts, you’ll target a specific goal for distance (or steps) covered in a single session, then you’ll go out and do it. This is meant to help increase endurance.
