Walk-to-Jog Program

Is there anyone out there that is interested in Jogging and never have, or do not think that you can? I am one of those people that want to condition myself to excel from walking to jogging/running.

Adding speed to your workout gets you there faster! Try our walk-to-jog plan and you'll reach your goal before you know it.

Here are 3 good reasons to pick up the pace when you exercise: It's easier than you think, you'll get fitter and healthier in no time, and you'll reach your weight loss goals faster. "Women who run more than 10 miles a week have slimmer waists, narrower hips, lower blood pressure, and higher levels of 'good' HDL cholesterol than do those who exercise less intensely.

Yet all these benefits are lost on millions of women who are afraid to take that first quick step. "They think it's just for jocks, they've tried it before and hated it." The secret, is getting your muscles, connective tissues, and joints accustomed to the higher intensity by slowly sneaking jogging into your walking workouts. "Hundreds of women who thought they could never run a mile just glow when they finish a 5-K [3.1-mile running even]."

Serues designed the 12-week walk-to-jog program to get you in shape to run a 5-K--whether you'll actually run one or not. Training for an event is a great way to boost your motivation to exercise, increase your self-esteem, and blast away about 340 calories in 30 minutes. Before you begin, you should be able to walk for 20 minutes comfortably. Walk for 5 minutes to warm up before your workout and to cool down afterward, stretch when you're done. After 12 weeks, you should be able to jog continuously for 45 minutes when you are done.

Who is ready for this? It can be done on a Treadmill or Outside. Join the group here to join: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/5855-walk-to-jog-plan
