_EXERCISE

Walking outdoors 20 minutes

A great low impact cardio exercise to boost health and fitness
Instructions
When walking at a brisk pace, you'll be able to talk but you'll find it difficult to continue a normal conversation without having to catch your breath.

The distance you can cover in this time depends on how your fitness is progressing. At this pace, maintaining a conversation will become a little difficult. I am spending so much time writing my novel, I know if I don't begin to focus on being more active

Technique tips
  • Maintain a good walking posture - keep your shoulders back and relaxed, and tummy muscles (core) pulled in.
  • Take nice big steps - stride as wide as possible.
  • Swing your arms - it helps to raise your heart rate and uses your upper body muscles.
  • Keep your breathing controlled - take deep steady breathes to get as much oxygen as possible.
  • This session burns 79 Calories - 330 Kilojoules
