2 Walking Workouts - Hate Running? Get Fit Walking ...

Do you despise running as much as I do? But do you still envy those people who religiously jog in the parks? Well, I think I've got great news for you!

There truly IS a great way not to do what you hate (running) and get the results you love (hot bod and I-am-so-fit vibe)! This secret to getting fit is... walking!!!

It is said that every person has two doctors with him... his right leg & his left leg. A vigorous 5 mile walk can do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy man than any medicine or psychology. it is the easiest exercise for most individuals, one that can done without equipment except good shoes, in most terrains & weather & also in very old age.

Oh, and one more reason to love walking - if you are also 5.6 and you wear high heels every single day, you will absolutely love those 30 minutes of walking! Because that's the time when you can finally put sneakers on and walk the streets of your city without killing your toes!

I hope you will enjoy this amazing Walking Workout I've found online and have been following for months now - it was composed by a notorious fitness expert Ray Browning, and it's by far one of the greatest workout routines out there!

I've stopped doing aerobics, and I need to find another sport I like which will help me get and stayfit!

p.s. thanks for including a specific workout plan. sometimes it's so easy to overdo it (I am very guilty of that ahh)

This is a great post Olga. Most people think that exercise has to be this extreme activity or a boring activity. But a little walking is all it takes to get started and walking in a park or a beautiful neighborhood makes for a beautiful and easy activity. I got to walk on the boardwalk this passed week...I loved it!

I feel that walking is the simplest, most fun, and very effective way of keeping in shape and staying healthy. I love walking...and take a 15 minutes walk every day during my lunch break at work. I love it!!!! It gets me out of the office into fresh air,clears mine mind, and burns calories. Very refreshing!!! Nice post by the way. For Chelsea, I would suggest having a medical exam to rule out any medical problems first. She states that she is very active, and does not look that big, but the weight sounds way up there for a young girl. Then again, muscle weighs more than fat, so maybe she is just very solid. I personally do not support drastic weight changes for long term results, for looks and health. It takes time to put it on and have your system adjust to it, and same should be done to get it off and keep it off. These are only my opinion and suggestions.

Yeah, I hate running too. Brisk walking is good way to exercise. Thanks for the walking workout!

I found a book at my shoe store called Walk as Far as You Can, As Fast as You Can. That's it. So I have been. I take my dogs and just walk until they are tired (they're both old). It's about an hour and I break a sweat. It has helped me maintain my weight at my goal without the cost of the gym. We go up and down hills, vary our speed, and enjoy the world. Sometimes I take the younger dog and we walk faster so I am challenged more. But I lost 20 lbs. and have kept it off without too much effort. And I look and feel great.

So much less pain than running. I've started walking and my body doesn't feel so beat up
