Best answer:
You need to just keep working at it every day. You will build up your strength. You just have to keep doing it even when you don't feel like it.

Walking To Tone Up Your Body

Article by Taylor Ryan


A lot of women think that stepping out their front door and going on a walk around the block is going to transform their bodies. Well, unfortunately walking isn't intense enough of a workout plan to do serious body toning.

Of course if working out is completely new then walking is a good place to start to get your muscles use to moving more, and get you in the habit of working out. But after time you need to up the intensity. Sure you will lose weight at first, but you want lose fat... and this light steady state cardio will have you losing a little fat, a lot of lean muscle and water.

Body fat is the jiggle we want to get rid of and that comes from having a balanced workout of both strength training and cardio... cardio that actually increases your heart rate and has fat melting off like intervals.

Strength training is important no matter how old you are, it to increase bone density, improve muscle health and increases your metabolism so you burn more body fat during your day!

Good fat burning weight training moves are the big ones that work big muscles with a big range of motion, so avoid using the weight machines at the gym which use little muscles at a time and have a set range of motion. Moves like walking lunges, assisted pull-ups, push-ups and step-ups are great exercises to add to your workout.

Once the weight training is over then spend just 20-25 minutes on cardio. Never do cardio before weights because you can tire yourself out. A great cardio program is interval workouts... or even better yet combine both with a circuit workout. Exercises back to back so you don't have to add any extra time to your workout.

A good workout of these two components can take just as long as your daily walks, but you will feel so much more accomplished.

So here is the deal... don't rely on walking for long term results. Start off with it and then push forward to keep getting better results. Increase the intensity and grab some weights for a better body and healthier lifestyle.
