What this walking workout is like
We all know that walking (or stepping) workouts are awesome as fat burning aerobic training! We also know that, for a beautiful & fit body, only cardio routines are not enough. Embedding full body exercises helps strengthen and tone all your muscles, sculpting your figure!
The pace picks up early and stays there, with short bursts that get you properly warm and breathing hard. Both feet stay low throughout: no jumping, nothing that lands hard, and nothing your downstairs neighbours will hear. A pair of light dumbbells is used, but a couple of water bottles or nothing at all works just as well.
Who it suits
This one assumes you have done a few of these before. If it is your first, take a beginner workout instead and come back to this in a fortnight. If your balance is still finding itself, stand behind a dining chair and rest a hand on the back — that is a sensible adaptation, not a compromise.
Fitting it into your day
Expect around 2,500 steps, which is roughly 1.0 miles at an average woman's stride. Short sessions add up exactly the same as long ones, so two of these in a day counts as a proper walk. Want your own numbers rather than an average? The steps to miles calculator works it out from your height.
Common questions
How many steps is this 20 minute walking workout?
About 2,500 steps, which is around 1.0 miles at an average woman's stride. Bigger steps and higher knees add more.
Is it OK for bad knees?
There is no jumping, so nothing lands hard. Some sessions include shallow squats or lunges; make them smaller or march through them if your knees complain.
Will my downstairs neighbours hear it?
Very unlikely. Both feet stay low, so it sounds like walking across a room. Trainers and a rug or mat make it quieter still.
Is it good for beginners?
It is a faster session that assumes a few walking workouts behind you. If you are new, start with a beginner one and come back to this.
Do I need equipment or a lot of space?
Light dumbbells are optional; water bottles or nothing at all work too. You need a patch of floor about the size of a bath mat, indoors.
