Say Goodbye to Boring Walks

If you have access to a treadmill, an outdoor road, a mall, indoor track, or even a yard that allows you to walk laps around the house, you can do this simple walking workout! And this isn't a drab walking experience. This is a time-flying efficient workout that's good for you-mind, body, and spirit.
Today you need to go for a thirty-minute interval-training walk. The interval training part is what makes it fun. Here's how you do it
1. Start with three to five minutes of walking at a moderate pace to warm up.
2. Next, walk as fast as you can, taking short quick steps and pumping your arms, for one minute.
3. Then go back to a challenging but doable pace for one minute.
4. Repeat the cycle for 24 minutes (about 12 times)
5. Cool down with an easy walk for three to five minutes.

That's it. Work hard-and push it-for one minute. Then work at a moderate pace for one mnute. Then repeat, repeat, repeat, and walk your way to better health!
