Tina Vindum's Step-by-Step to Dynamic Walking

Tina Vindum Step-by-Step to Dynamic Walking
  • Get the right shoes! These are your number one piece of equipment so invest wisely. Buy from a reputable running store--running shoes also make excellent walking shoes--where you'll be measured and fit for the right shoe.
    Tip:     Shop for shoes at the end of the day when your feet have swelled and expanded.

  • Map it out. Walking can be done just about anytime, anywhere. Whether you're running errands or just taking a spin around the block, it's all about getting outside in the fresh air and moving.
    Tip: Buy a map of your area. You'll be surprised to find just how many parks, walking paths, tracks and stadiums there are to explore.
  • Warm up for 8-10 minutes. A warm-up prepares your body and mind for exercise to come. It gives your muscles, joints, heart, lungs and even your mind the opportunity to slowly rehearse for the activity ahead.
  • Tip: Warm-ups are key to burning fat. They will enhance your circulation, and initiate carbohydrate and fat enzymes for comsumption.

How to warm up
by Statuesqueone on April 25, 2007 - 3:25pm
Not sure the best way to warm up for walking. I always thought that slower walking was a good warm up but maybe there are better warm ups? Would have been nice if Tina would have included some suggestions.

Love the tips, and I'm glad Lime offers a great system of keeping track of our walking! I think more people should get involved though!

It's amazing to see how many miles you have clocked.  It makes you feel like you have accomplished something.  I agree, LIME is doing a great job.  Glad we have the site.  Really nice to read some of the testimonials as well. Check them out or post one yourself.

Warm up by walking
by Statuesqueone on April 27, 2007 - 8:01pm
Hey VickiR, I checked out your link and it appears that walking for five minutes at a slow pace is the best way to warm up. Thanks for finding that for me. It also said that I should stretch but I don't really like the idea of stopping after five minutes to stretch so think I will save the stretching til the end of my walk.

how is it going?

How has the walking been going? I was in NYC and clocked something like 12,000 steps on Saturday my niece advised me.  She was monitoring the walking for us.  It felt great and I didn't feel it, must have been all that shopping that helped.
