Reebok Interval Walking Workout is a great way to get fit fast. All you need is a great pair of Reebok Walking shoes and a wristwatch. Begin each workout with a 10 minute warm-up that includes strolling and stretching, making sure that the first 3-5 minutes of walking are slower than your steady walking pace.

As you walk along, simply check the time, then pick up the pace for 30 seconds. If you don't have a watch, choose a point 100 yards in the distance and walk towards it. To increase your walking speed, bend your arms so the elbows form a 90-degree angle. Then pump them at a faster pace than your usual walking motion. Take a shorter stride and your legs will keep pace with your arms. During intense intervals, around 85% of your maximum heart rate, or a rate of 7-10 on the perceived exertion scale should be achieved.

Every intense interval you do benefits your body more than ordinary walking. As you walk faster, your body responds immediately. For instance, your heart will beat faster indicating a higher demand for oxygen. This strengthens your heart and increases your blood flow. You'll work your muscles harder and develop new muscle fiber. You'll burn calories faster. You'll boost your fitness by teaching your body to hold a faster pace.

After 30 seconds of fast walking, relax and walk at a steady stroll for a full minute. This is called your recovery interval. Walk slowly, allowing your breathing to return to normal. Then speed up for another 30 seconds.

That's it-- Reebok Interval Walking Workout. Repeat this pattern as often as you like. (Just a reminder, the recovery interval should be about twice as long as your walking interval). After you've completed your Reebok Interval Walking Workout remember to cool down for approximately 10 minutes with appropriate stretches.

Note: For all weeks and levels, REST on Sundays
