Women’s Daily Walking Workout – If you don’t walk regularly, you are missing out on a tool that is underrated for getting a fit and toned body. Walking is a low-key activity that has proven to be effective in weight loss. In a 2022 report that was published in Nutritions, postmenopausal woman who walked regularly lost weight regardless of their walking speed. Women who want to achieve their best bodies can benefit from a daily walk. Here is the ultimate daily walking routine for women who want to be fit.
Walking has a variety of health benefits. Walking is easy on the joints and can be performed anywhere. It also requires no special equipment. Here’s the twist, though: not all walking exercises are created equal. We spoke with Tracie haines-Landram CSCS a certified strength trainer and nutritionist with barbend to find out the best daily walking workouts for women. This workout is great because it can be done on a treadmill, outside, or even indoors.
Haines-Landram explains that pace can be measured on a treadmill or fitness tracker using speed (often displayed in miles per hour or mph) or by pace (min. sec. per mile). If no technology is available then a scale of perceived intensity (how difficult the workout feels) can be used.
We need to define some terms before we begin.
- Home base = When walking outside, this is your area where you can perform additional exercises in a safe place and away from traffic. This will be the area next to your treadmill if you are walking indoors.
- Set = When walking outdoors, a set equals one lap, or 0.25 miles. Walking on a treadmill or indoors, one set is walking 0.25 miles.
- Pace Decide on four different levels of speed.
- The first level is a casual, slow walk that allows you to talk without getting tired.
- Level 2 is faster walking where you are still able to hold a conversation.
- You can maintain a level 3 pace for more than 10 minutes. However, you might not be able hold a conversation as you are out of breath.
- The fastest you can walk is Level 4, before it becomes a run, where it is difficult to hold a conversation or talk.
Haines-Landram says that the general format of a workout is to complete a set of approximately 0.25 miles. At your Home Base, perform a lower body movement and an upper body movement three times each, alternately.
