BLOCK 19: WALK FOR 64 MINUTES WITH A DISTANCE GOAL OF 3.7 TO 3.8 MILES: One way to make sure you meet your fitness goals is to start with a realistic idea of how much time you'll need each day. Since three days a week are rest days in this program, that should help make the time commitment manageable. However, because walking is a lower-intensity form of exercise than running, cycling, or swimming, it takes a little longer to get the same health benefits: 45 minutes minimum per session as opposed to 30 minutes minimum for running, cycling, or swimming. That's why we're walking for over an hour a day, and why we walk at a brisk pace.
