WALK FOR 56 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF 3.3 TO 3.4 MILES: One important way to avoid injury is to stick with your habit of always warming up and cooling down for EVERY workout. So today, do what you do for every workout (don't you?) -- warm up by walking slowly and easily for three to four minutes. Do a few easy stretching exercises (if you need ideas on how to stretch, a great reference book is Sports Stretch by Michael J. Alter, available from Human Kinetics at http://www.humankinetics.com/Products/showproduct.hk?productid=PALT0823&associate=1 ). Then walk briskly for 56 minutes, with a distance goal of 3.3 to 3.4 miles. When you've walked briskly for 56 minutes, cool down by walking easily for five to six minutes.
