You like to walk? Then you already have training 10. Easy, cheap, pleasant, compatible with complicated schedules and suitable for any level of fitness. As it says Antonio Ángel, CEO of Radical Trainer (@radicaltrainer), “Walking is an activity that everyone can do and it is also easy to take advantage of it for real and physical benefits”.
And it is that walking you can tone, improve your cardiorespiratory system, burn calories and relax your nervous system. All are benefits without contraindications. Of course, do not forget sunscreen, be it summer or winter.
Here are the tips from the Radical Trainer expert to enhance all these benefits.
How long. With a 30/40 minute routine for 15 days we would begin to see the results.
When. It is very effective to walk on an empty stomach, 30 minutes just when you wake up, and then have breakfast.
Time or intensity? Both are important depending on the objective. In any case, I always recommend walking 30/40 minutes after training to burn more fat.
The land. It is recommended to make “changes of scenery”. Choosing steeper routes and alternating different terrains such as dirt or asphalt will increase the intensity and therefore the difficulty.
Do you train? You will get more benefits walking if you do it after an effective training routine, whether it is bodybuilding, crossfit or some other guided activity.
Sneakers. Wear running shoes, it will help you prevent injuries, have a better footprint and control impacts. It is important to buy some adapted to your type of foot and footprint.
Extra exercise. To enhance muscle tone, complement your walks with guided sessions such as HIIT, Tabata, functional training or group classes.
Step counters. They will serve to motivate you and see that you have achieved the objective.
