Bodybuilding is great. Weight training is great. Crossfit , Pilates , Plyometrics - they are all great.

But some people just want get in better shape, " everyday life " kind of way. They don't want to spend hours at the gym learning new exercises and new routines.

If it's you here's a simple walking exercise that is guaranted to work - as long as you stick to it.

The key is to focus on walking properly

When i started walking , anything 3 miles was absolutely insane for me and not something i considerd it possible.

Walking is great for health, but you already know that. In order to make walking even more efficient, follow my recommendations :

• Lift your head, walk straight, and put your shoulder down.
• Step on your foot starting from your heel, and kick off the ground only with your toes.
• Use your arms, swing them in the direction opposite of your leg movement.
• Walk atleast 30 minutes a day ( if you can walk 45 minutes, even better )

It's really easy to do while you are hiking or on a walking tour. You can enjoy the nature and improve your health the same time.

SHORT WALKS

It's not that difficult to make yourself walk more.

Park your car a few blocks away from your work or take a walk after lunch on a sunny day.

These actions burn calorie and improve the work of your blood vessel

Turn this activity into an everyday ritual and you'll see that you start feeling better.

TOE WALKING

Best exercise if you suffer from foot, knee, or hip pain

This is the simple exercise that you can do while maintaining your house or doing your other chores. Simply walk around on your toe at a fast pace - this will strengthen your calves and give a small workout to your toes and the balls of your feet.

Keep walking for 5 to 10 minutes or until tired.
