Our free and easy walking plan will help you shed those stubborn pounds
WALK YOURSELF SLIMMER IN 6 WEEKS!

Walking is so much more than going from A to B. When done regularly and with a goal, incorporating different paces and challenging inclines, it’s a great form of exercise to help the pounds fall away. What’s more, not only will you lose weight, your overall health will benefit from purposeful walks throughout the week, too. ‘Walking improves heart health, boosts circulation, maintains leg strength and benefits our bones, so you really do get an all-round workout,’ says exercise instructor Julie Robinson*. Here’s how to turn your strolls into a fat-burning routine.

Torch calories

The amount of calories you burn per hour of walking will determine your success – and this depends on how much effort you put in.

+ Leisurely stroll or your recovery walking pace: around 210 calories per hour.

+ Moderate pace or your longer distance walking pace: around 250 calories per hour.

+ Brisk walk or your intervals pace: around 350 calories per hour.
