WALK FOR 56 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF 2.7 TO 2.8 MILES: Remember to warm up, stretch, and cool down for EVERY workout. If you don't remember the details of warming up and cooling down, here's a review. Start by warming up with an easy five- to six-minute walk and then stretching (for information on stretching, see Sports Stretch by Michael J. Alter, available from Human Kinetics at http://www.humankinetics.com/Products/showproduct.hk?productid=PALT0823&associate=1 ). Now do your main conditioning session by walking briskly for 56 minutes, swinging your arms, and try to cover 2.3 to 2.4 miles. When you've finished your walk, cool down by walking easily for five to six minutes. Note that your warmup and cooldown don't count as part of your 56-minute walk!
