Step 1
WALK AT THE PARK. Get outside! Move around! It is a beautiful day. Walk on the trails or get off the path for a fun hike. Just walk. Start slow and then really pick up the pace. Walking can shed those pounds right off! A park usually has hills and turns which will really give your legs and body a great workout. Do not let those arms dangle there. Pick them up and power walk! Walking is good but you walk briskly in order to see results. Put your music on and enjoy a great walk. Get a friend and talk and walk. Walk for at least a fast 20-30 minutes. Walk at least 3 days a week. Go to the park and walk off the weight!!

Step 2
WALK ON THE TREADMILL. Get to a gym! Move around! It is a great day. Hop on a treadmill and pick between all kinds of workouts. Interval and incline training are some of the best walking workouts on the treadmill. Interval allows the body to steadily increase intensity and speed with small breaks in between. Incline really digs into those legs and pushes you to walk to the same speed even while the treadmill beings to slope up. Both workouts are a great way to drop the pounds and increase muscle. Walk for at least a fast 20-30 minutes. Walk at least 3 days a week. Jump on the treadmill and walk off the weight!!

Step 3
WALK AT HOME. Get off the couch! Move around! It is a fabulous day. Stand in front of the TV or put your music on and start walking in place. Just because you are at home does not mean you can slack off. Really pick those feet off by bringing your knees higher. Keep your back straight. Power pump your arms. Get into it. Pick music that has a fast tempo and walk in place to the beat. Mix it up by moving your legs out wide and continue walking. The key is just to move and move quickly. Make it fun and exciting. Walk for at least a fast 20-30 minutes. Walk at least 3 days a week. Get out of bed and walk off the weight!!

Step 4
WALK AROUND WORK. Get out of the chair! Move around! It is a good day. Park your car further away from the building and walk with more speed. Take the longer way to the bathroom and get some more walking in. Walk up and down the stairs as many times you can during the day. Walk back to your car with speed at lunch. Take a few breaks and walk around the building a couple of times. Walk briskly back to your car at the end of day. Walk as often as you can during your work day and the pounds will come off. Walk for at least a fast 20-30 minutes. Walk at least 3 days a week. Get out of your chair and walk off the weight!!

Step 5
WALK WITH WEIGHTS. Grab some weights! Move around! Today is the day to get in shape. Use 2-3 pound weights for your hands. Use 5 pound weights for your ankles. Remember if anything gets to be too much, drop the weights and just walk. You can gradually get used to walking with weights later. But if you are up to the challenge, grab your weights and go. Go to the park. Go to the gym. Go to your living room. Go to the stairs. Not only will you shed the pounds but you will tone up too! You will see results. Walk for at least a fast 20-30 minutes. Walk at least 3 days a week. Grab your weights and walk off the weight!!
