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!

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 :)

Will it help me lose tummy fat?

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!

Cool. I'll try this.

I hate jogging too and this is a good idea. When at work, instead of taking the elevators, I use the stairs on my way to the office. This is a good exercise too.

yes, I agree with those who say walking brings more benifit than any other exercise, even running. I had High Blood Pressure 140/100, and body wieght 73 KG. My doctor advised me to reduce weight and was so kind that he refuses to give me any medicine instead ask walk(Brisk) regularly at least 3KM a day and get it. I followed his advice and with the blessing of God me know 67 KG (as he ask me to reduce only 5/6 KG)and my blood pressure is constant 130/90. Now on medicine to keep it further low, 120/80..thanks for those who advised me to have walk and i suggest all those to follow this natural recipe and reduce their weight.

hahha as long as I have some good jams in my ipod it's a win win! if not then it's trudge trudge :)
