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!

It's a great way to loose belly fat, i've been doing it for 2 weeks now and i feel as if i've already lost a couple pounds but of coarse i am watching what i eat.

Nice post, and thanks for the quote! Walking is most definitely easier on your body than running. If I could be content to walk, that's all I would do, but I'm a runner at heart!
Oh get fit walking, I thought the "l" was an "n" and I was wondering why I was soooo thin.
Hey, Ladies, Just wanted to let you know that I keep walking for about a month now and it feels great! The walks not only made me more fit, but they also have been such a great relaxation! When you walk all the troubling thoughts just disappear and you feel great afterwards! Try it and I am sure you'll love it too!
I love walking... round the shops! Have you seen those new fit-flops, supposed to tone you up whilst walking in them? A-maze-ing!
hahha as long as I have some good jams in my ipod it's a win win! if not then it's trudge trudge :)
Wow this is great! I personally hate doing exercises but I need to lose some weight too. I have been doing jumping rope workouts lately but I am dying to try this walking workout too. I hope I will be able to shed some extra pounds out of me. Beautiful post. Thanks :)
