Walking as a keep fit routine

Begin by walking at a gentle, but steady pace for 5-10 minutes.

Stop and stretch out the hamstrings, quads and calf muscles and do some arm rotations.
Continue at a brisker pace and use your arms to power you along, do this for a further 10 minutes.

Stop and do 2 sets of squats then continue on your way. Try to find different terrain, such as hilly areas, continue with the brisk walking and remember to breath properly, in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

After 10 minutes stop and execute 2 sets of star jumps, remember to keep your knees soft and land lightly.

Continue for 10 minutes and turn walking into lunging, aim for 12 lunges per leg, as you get fitter and stronger you may perform more repetitions of these, squats and star jumps.

Increase your walking pace for 10 minutes then bring it down gradually to a gentle walk and get your breathing back to where you started before walking.

Always remember to stretch out after exercise and drink some water.
