Welcome to week 2
Monday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a low intensity.
Tip: Vary your walking route, find a buddy or update your playlist music (15 minutes worth).
Tuesday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a low to moderate intensity. It’s time to up the ante!
Tip: If you’re not ready to walk at moderate intensity the whole time, alternate 1 minute of each intensity, or go a little faster every second song.
Wednesday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a low intensity.
Tip: Each day try to walk a bit further in the same time.
Thursday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a low to moderate intensity. It’s time to up the ante!
Tip: Try to make the majority of your walk moderate intensity if you can. Tomorrow will be low intensity so don’t be scared to push yourself a little today.
Friday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a low intensity.
Tip: Use an app, like Map My Run, to track whether you’re walking further in the same amount of time. It’s a great way to see improvements in your fitness.
Saturday
Walk for 15 minutes continuously, at a moderate to high intensity. It’s time to up the ante again!
Tip: A great way to add intensity is to walk stairs or hills. Find some in your area that you can use on your walk.
Sunday
Today is a rest day. Rest means no planned training. But don’t forget to keep your incidental exercise up for general health and extra kilojoule burning by staying on your feet, walking places or enjoying active leisure activities, like a family bike ride.
