  • Power Walk. Walk at a comfortable pace for 60 seconds, and then alternate with 20 seconds of a faster pace where you are slightly out of breath.
  • Incorporate resistance training. Take resistance bands to the park and do a circuit type of training. You can walk around the park perimeter and then do sets with the bands. Or- you can incorporate body weight moves such as squats, lunges and/or pushups throughout your walk. Often times, I will do a variety of arm exercises while I’m walking.
  • Pray/Meditate– Keep your mind present and only focus on nature’s sights and sounds
  • Purposeful thinking– Make a mental gratitude list while you’re walking.
