Pick High-Intensity Interval Training Walking To Get The Finest Outcome

By James Spann


Everyone knows that to be healthy, you need to do some sort of exercise, and eat a well balanced diet. With the High-Intensity Interval Training Walking program, you can achieve good health quickly and efficiently. Of course, it has to be a way of life, and should be done indefinitely, so why not enjoy it at the same time?

It often consists of a relatively short sessions which includes a warm up program as an introduction, followed by repeated high energy bursts of exercise, which are separated by a recuperation period of medium and low intensity activity and finally finished with a cool down activity. It is these short alternating energy sessions which build up the cardiovascular strength of the heart and tone the body at the same time. It is a quick and efficient way to exercise.

A very important step prior to starting your workout is to warm up the muscles and gradually get your heart to speed up in anticipation for the next level of intensity. A program such as this makes use of short bursts of very intense walking, followed by a moderate pace, which is in turn followed by slow walking or resting. These short brisk walks vary in time, to accommodate the beginner or adversely the advanced walker.

Better health, includes warding off diseases which obesity may bring on, such as diabetes or even immobility. The muscles and joints benefit from a routine workout (at least three times a week). Flexibility and strength are an added bonus. Illnesses such as asthma and osteoporosis can be prevented, and heart health is elevated.

If you are walking in a group of people, be sure to surround yourself with others that are most like you, in terms of fitness levels and goals. This is why this type of program is so easily kept up, since it can be carried out to best suit your cardio achievements as well as the intensity levels you can aspire to and achieve at present. It would not be advantageous to begin as a beginner at a higher intensity than you can achieve, as this would not only turn you against the program mentally, but you would struggle to keep up as well.

Walking is a fantastic way to exercise. It is less intimidating than jogging but yields just the right results. The pace can be increased or decreased to suit the individual, and the amount of exertion is less detrimental to the joints, hips or spine. It is a realistic and fun way to get your daily dose of exercise.

The HIIT (as it is also known), is perfectly suited to walking. You can increase in briskness over short time durations with slower walking between these. It is easy to control the pace according to how you feel, and best of all, it is absolutely free. Not to mention heaps of fun.

By being outdoors, in the sunshine and fresh air, you are already achieving a better and happier way of life. These are healing powers not only for the body, but for the mind too. The stressful lives of most people today, almost eliminates fitting a workout into a workday, however it is really important to make time for a healthier body and a general sense of well-being. With a little perseverance and strength of mind, it is possible to attain a good training session, as well as great health.
