Block 4: WALK FOR 28 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF 1.3 TO 1.4 MILES: As we said yesterday, it's quite common to experience temporary aches and pains when you start a new fitness program. But sometimes your increased activity level can reveal biomechanical imperfections that never affected you when you were sedentary. For example, many people have one leg that is slightly longer than the other, or knees that don't track perfectly. These irregularities can lead to pain in your toes, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back. If such pain persists, report it to a specialist such as a sports podiatrist or physical therapist. It's better to look into these things sooner rather than later, before small problems develop into bigger ones.
