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.
