We get a lot of questions about how fast and how long and how often to walk when you are trying to lose weight. The link above is very helpfulso I thought I'd pass it along. The article describes walking at a "determined"pace ( and I call a focused pace). make sure you warm up for a good 5 to 10 minutes before you start the "work" portion of your workout. Walking for fitness requires you to be aware! Don't give into the "stroll slump"! And make sure you check out our Walk Aerobics workouts here at www.demandfitness.com - we get you walking and moving! Good Luck!

Thanks Joanne! I have recently had some friends ask me about walking routines and I will pass this link on to them- as well as keeping it handy for myself!
