What We Did In Class: The Fat Burning Walk
Fitness Walking
One exercise we did in class was the Fat Burning Walk. It can be done daily or on the days your body needs to recover from a more intense exercise.

You should only be able to speak in short sentences. Cool down for 10 minutes at an easy pace then finish up by stretching.

I found race walking to be very difficult because of the restrictions. Not being able to lift both feet off the ground was frustrating and hard to do. I think racewalking is especially difficult because you do not get the momentum you would get from running which propels you
