Pick High-Intensity Interval Training Walking To Get The Nicest Effect

By James Spann


Keeping to an exercise regime may seem difficult at times, especially when the weather turns cold and gloomy. However, it is best to keep the bigger picture in mind and to reap the benefits of good health. By doing the High-Intensity Interval Training Walking program, you can shorten the length of the exercise time, but still enjoy the highest yield of benefits.

It often consists of a relatively short sessions which includes a warm up program as an introduction, followed by repeated high energy bursts of exercise, which are separated by a recuperation period of medium and low intensity activity and finally finished with a cool down activity. It is these short alternating energy sessions which build up the cardiovascular strength of the heart and tone the body at the same time. It is a quick and efficient way to exercise.

A very important step prior to starting your workout is to warm up the muscles and gradually get your heart to speed up in anticipation for the next level of intensity. A program such as this makes use of short bursts of very intense walking, followed by a moderate pace, which is in turn followed by slow walking or resting. These short brisk walks vary in time, to accommodate the beginner or adversely the advanced walker.

Better health, includes warding off diseases which obesity may bring on, such as diabetes or even immobility. The muscles and joints benefit from a routine workout (at least three times a week). Flexibility and strength are an added bonus. Illnesses such as asthma and osteoporosis can be prevented, and heart health is elevated.

If you are walking in a group of people, be sure to surround yourself with others that are most like you, in terms of fitness levels and goals. This is why this type of program is so easily kept up, since it can be carried out to best suit your cardio achievements as well as the intensity levels you can aspire to and achieve at present. It would not be advantageous to begin as a beginner at a higher intensity than you can achieve, as this would not only turn you against the program mentally, but you would struggle to keep up as well.

These are important factors to consider when choosing a workout routine; the high-intensity method is quick and very effective. When you are walking, you are also able to take time out of your busy, often stressful schedule and enjoy the sunshine and surroundings. This increases the vitamin D intake subsequently, and relaxes the mind at the same time.

The HIIT (as it is also known), is perfectly suited to walking. You can increase in briskness over short time durations with slower walking between these. It is easy to control the pace according to how you feel, and best of all, it is absolutely free. Not to mention heaps of fun.

By diligently sticking to your routine and by being adamant about your program, your health will benefit immensely, as will your general well-being. This can only be advantageous in anyone's life, and can mean the difference between loving life and just tolerating it. A healthy body and mind leaves you free to enjoy the finer things in life without hindrance or anxiety.
