  • Welcome to the second interval walking workout of this series! This is Day 5 of the 'Kickstart your fitness' program. Today we will warm up for 10 minutes then walk or jog as fast as we can for 30 seconds then slow it right down for the next 30 seconds. We'll repeat the intervals 10 times then do our 5 minute cool-down and finish with flexibility exercises. This interval workout is designed to be suitable for seniors and beginners. During the 30 minute fast period, go at whatever pace you are comfortable with. Interval workouts are known to be effective fat burning workouts which improve your overall fitness quickly. This walk at home workout can also be done from a chair if you want to modify the exercises for a seated workout. Each day of the 7 day program is going to be designed differently to give you a full body workout. If you want to improve your strength, fitness, balance and flexibility (while having fun), then this is for you!
    The total steps during this workout is 3144 steps. As always, this is low impact. Please use your judgment on when to modify exercises. If you feel a move isn't good for you, please change the exercise to a move that is more suitable for you.
    If you enjoyed the workout, please hit the like button (thumbs up) and write a comment! All of your thumbs up and comments tell the CZcams algorithms that you enjoyed the workout so that way it will get 'out there' more, and more people will be able to discover the workout.

    Overjoyed to find your exercise videos! I am a healthy , active senior woman who enjoys light hiking and I live in a beautiful area to do it - the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. However hiking in the cold rain isn’t so fun and during the rainy winter I often turn to indoor exercise videos. I was doing some Leslie Sansone walking videos and she is an uplifting person, but once you’ve heard the same comments over and over you just start going nuts! I LOVE the way you do your videos with written notes and prompts on the screen, but no talking! Adding the little bell to signal a change in position when you are not looking at the screen was so ingenious! The music is pleasant rather than annoying. Just a perfect at home exercise video!!!

    • @ImprovedHealth
      @ImprovedHealth  Před 2 lety

      WELCOME to my channel, Cynthia! I'm thrilled you found me and that you are enjoying the workouts. I had never heard of the Olympic Peninsula before so I had to google it...WOW...gorgeous. I spent some time looking at pictures and then realized how close Seattle is to lots of water and also so close to Canada. It'll now have to be on my bucket list:) You're so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. Until the weather improves, I hope you continue to enjoy my workouts!

    30 second intervals were doable, yet sweaty enough.....the stretching was awesome!!

    15 seconds easy, ok let's do 30 and shorten the breaks in between. Also mentioning a chair for stretching in the beginning and putting some variety moves in the slow down breaks.
