Yes I walk it out!

Sorry I have not posted in awhile, but we are in-between internet providers, so we will not have internet in our homes until sometime this week. In the meantime, i will go to our school and post, hopefully daily. I had the realization that I live really close to a lot of the places I go to every day, so I have decided to put the keys away and begin walking places. (I have not been very good at it since it is so much more convenient to drive, but I will get better before the weather gets worse.) So today we are walking to the duck park! I love the duck park, because i love watching my son chase the ducks. Here is a picture (or 2):

 okay one more, because he is so cute! (this is clearly not at the duck park, but look at him!)

Now back to the workout. It is about 1.5 miles from my front door. So I am going to follow the following workout routine, to get the most out of my walk:

30-Minute Fat Blaster

Short bursts of fast walking crank up your calorie burn.

4 minutes

Walk at an easy pace.

4 minutes

Increase to a brisk pace (as if you're late for an appointment). A good litmus test: You should be breathing hard enough that it's difficult to talk in complete sentences.

6 minutes

Do 30:60 intervals (you'll need a watch for this routine; one with an interval timer set to 30 seconds is ideal): Walk as quickly as you can for 30 seconds and count the number of steps you take. Slow to a brisk pace for 60 seconds to recover. Do 4 times, aiming to increase the number of steps you take during each "sprint." (Remember this number.)

6 minutes

Do 30:30 intervals: Go as fast as you can for 30 seconds. Slow to a brisk pace for a 30-second recovery. Do 6 times, maintaining your highest step count from the previous intervals.

6 minutes

Do 60:60 intervals: Alternate 60-second "sprints" with 60 seconds of recovery. Do 3 times, shooting to log double the number of steps in each fast interval that you did during 30:30 intervals.

4 minutes

Cool down by walking at an easy pace.
