Walking for Weight Loss

Now with the cooler weather it's the perfect time to start to walk away those extra pounds.  However taking a leisurely stroll is not enough to get that heart pumping and lose weight.  Leslie Sansone's 7-day walking plan will rev up your calorie burn.  After one week of fast-walking, you'll firm and tone your muscles as well as boost your metabolism and kick start your weight loss.  So grab those walking shoes and let's get started. 

Day 1:  Work in three 10-minute fast walks. Start out with 2 to 3 minute warm up, increase your speed to a brisk pace for 3 to 5 minutes then finish up with 2 to 3 minutes of cool down to get your heat rate back to normal.

Day 2:  Take two 20-minute fast walks.  Continue with the same 2 to 3 minutes warm up and cool down.

Day 3: Fast walk for a continuous 30 minute session.  Warm up and cool down should last 5 to7 minutes each.
