Off the Couch: Beginning Exercise
Day 006 - Aerobic Exercise
30 minute walk or jog at Level 1 intensity = 60-70% of your max. heart rate, or conversation pace
|
TODAY, DO A 30 MINUTE WALK OR JOG AT A LEVEL 1 INTENSITY: This should be different route than the walk or jog a few days ago, chose a park or at least a different direction. These low intensity workouts are very important in that they lay the foundation for sessions later in the program by developing your heart, lungs and muscles. Avoid the temptation to push harder, you'll have plenty of higher intensity training later and you'll enjoy it much more if you do these workouts properly. Try to do these sessions on as soft a surface as possible, such as grass or dirt, it is much easier on your joints.
