DO YOU KNOW

That speed walking is easier than walking slow.  I walk non stop speed walking except the final cool down lap.  That is the worse of all laps, as it makes me tired.  So, I speed that up until I have only 1 block of my final walkacise left, then I slow down, but not too slow as I would be too tired to walk home.

Put on some fast pace music and walk to the beat.  Initially I could only walk to a love song.  Now, techno music is very simple for me, non stop for 5.5 miles.  Remember if you can't talk while you walk, you are walking too fast.  I can sing and talk to everyone on the path just so I do not have to stop to do it.  Try it for a short span and post.

Nice @goheadon! I will share this information with my husband and try it next time we go for a walk. I love this friendly tips, so If you have more, please share! 

Happy stepping!

GHO,

What is your pace when you speed walk?  I normally poke along at 3.5 MPH for around 1-1.5 hours over a 2.5-4 mile distance over trails and up and down slopes.
