    Got in a leisurely 2 miles with the Husband this morning, looking forward to Week 2. It's going to be hot this week, so will need to be before or after the work day

    Today is a 15 minutes HIIT walk. I will get to it this afternoon between my two leisurely walking of my dog.

    Done with HIIT day. I never could figure out the difference between a power walk and a jog, so it wasn't pretty but managed to run a little!

    Are you doing this with videos, outside, or treadmill? I mostly do videos. Jessica Smith, Leslie Sansone, and Jenny Ford/Freedom Fit have many video options for walking/marching inside.

    Somedays I do it outside, other days inside.

    Today is 30 minutes power walk. ( Power walking is the act of walking with a speed at the upper end of the natural range for the walking gait, typically 7 to 9 km/h. To qualify as power walking as opposed to jogging or running, at least one foot must be in contact with the ground at all times.)

    Nice Megan, and thank you for the clarification re pw vs. jog. I worked it hard early this morning for 30 min because it's going to be a hot day.

    I just did a mild walk today. Will go harder tomorrow. I feel like I’m fighting a migraine so didn’t want to push it. So I’m switching my rest day. I think I pushed it too hard yesterday during my run. Need to learn to let my body get used to things before pushing my limit.

    Excedrin migraine, ice pack on head, lay down and rest. Bonus if you have someone to rub your head! Feel better.

    Don’t push yourself beyond your limit. Take it easy today. Are you changing your eating habit or caffeine intake?

    I took a short, casual walk for rest day. Looking to do 20-30 min bodyweight routine, any recommendations?

    How about something from Sydney Cummings? These are all no equipment needed, anywhere from 10-60 min...

    For some reason this app hasn’t been allowing me to sign in since yesterday morning. But I’ve done all my walks!!

    My family has decided to join my walks (and use their phone to use the Jurassic park Dino hunting app). So today was quite enjoyable. We went for almost an hour.

    Today is 30 minute HIIT walk.

    * Warmup (3 minutes): Walk at an easy, comfortable pace

    * Interval set (5 reps):

    Steady state (3 minutes): Walk briskly, enough that your breathing is elevated, but you can still talk easily.
    High-intensity (1 minute): Walk or Jog as quickly as you possibly can. At this pace your breathing should be very labored; talking is difficult.
    Recovery (1 minute): Walk at a comfortable pace, and focus on catching your breath.


    * Cooldown (2 minutes): Continue to walk at an easy, comfortable pace. (Maybe add a few stretches.)

    Is there an app for this that will tell me when to speed up or slow down?

    I am not aware of one. I just use my Apple Watch timer
