Walking is one of the most enjoyable ways of improving overall health and burning calories. If your daily strolls are starting to feel too easy, or you’re looking to burn a few extra calories, try kicking up your walks with these intensity tricks.
- Weighted Back Pack – Fill up a back pack with extra weight and go for a hike. This extra weight will start off feeling light, but end up providing you with a great workout.
- Find a Hill – Locate a steep hill and walk up and down it several times. You will be sore in the morning!
- Run or Sprint – Alternate between short periods of brisk walking, running or sprinting, and periods of regular walking.
- Explore Local Parks – Pick a different local or state park and go exploring. Walk where the mood takes you.
- Road March – Go on an extended road march of 5, 8, or even 10 miles. While difficult, you will enjoy the experience and most likely want to do it again.
