Try interval walking for better fitness

Walking is an excellent exercise for burning calories and for improving cardiovascular fitness. Recent research has revealed that fast walking is superior to slow walking, especially for reducing abdominal fat.

Try interval training for the most effective approach to increasing your walking speed. Interval training alternates periods of faster activity with periods of slower activity.

Although you have walked the same distance as usual, the exercise intensity is the key to your fitness improvements. This is because higher exercise intensities require higher heart rate responses, leading to a greater cardiovascular conditioning effect.
