On an hour walk, how do I incorporate this and turn it into a 15 minute workout during my walk? Here are 3 ways!
Lunges: Every mile or so, stop and do a set of lunges to work your legs and glutes. To perform a lunge, step forward with one foot and lower your hips until both knees are at a 90-degree angle. Then, push back up to standing and repeat with the other leg. Aim for 10-12 lunges on each leg.
Tricep Dips: Find a park bench or a sturdy ledge and do a set of tricep dips to work your arms and upper body. To perform a tricep dip, place your hands on the bench or ledge behind you with your fingers pointing forward. Lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body, and then push back up to starting position. Aim for 10-15 tricep dips.
Step-ups: If you come across a set of stairs or a ledge that’s about knee height, (or ankle height for me) you can do step-ups to work your legs and glutes. Step up onto the ledge with one foot, then bring the other foot up to meet it. Step back down and repeat on the other side. Aim for 10-12 step-ups on each leg.
Incorporate these 3 Exercises into Your Morning Walk
To turn your hour-long walk into a 15-minute workout, try incorporating these three exercises: lunges, tricep dips, and step-ups.
- Every mile or so, take a break and do a set of 10-12 lunges on each leg to work your legs and glutes.
- Then find a park bench or sturdy ledge to perform 10-15 tricep dips to work your arms and upper body.
- Finally, if you come across a set of stairs or a knee-high ledge, try 10-12 step-ups on each leg to further strengthen your legs and glutes.
By incorporating these exercises into your walk, you’ll be able to get a full-body workout in just 15 minutes. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body. If you need to take a break or modify the exercises to fit your fitness level, that’s perfectly okay. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get moving!
