I forget who sang that song? Was it Aretha Franklin??? Anyhoo, let's get our walk on but warrior style. How you ask?

I really like this because we all want to spice something up! I love walking but how can I get more bang for my buck?!?! We all want more for less...isn't that what USA says??? (I am being sarcastic)
But read and try one of the extras mentioned or do them all!
Challenge your walk!

    Yeah - people do tend to look at you a bit weird when you start doing something other than straight walking or running. I would also suggest these two additional spice it up actiivties during the walk: turn sideways and shuffle with your hips low (think horse stance or squats) - alternate sides or practice grapevines. These two activities will add inner and outer thigh muscles to those worked out on this super walk.

    Hmmm, interesting... when I was walking/jogging (I don't get out much anymore because I spend so much time in the gym) I had some bellydance songs thrown into my playlist so I could throw a few moves in while I was walking: I would do walking hip circles/figure 8's, walking shimmies, pause to do some hip lifts/drops, do walking chest lifts/drops (gotta make sure there are no cars going by for this one, the males tend to get a little excited over it), camels, undulations, ect. It could get very entertaining! I would get some weird looks, but I ignored them
