Stride into shape with our simple walking plan
LOSE AN INCH by Christmas

Whether you want more freedom to enjoy seasonal treats or need a confidence boost, there's plenty of time to shed unwanted weight. And you don't need to spend hours in the gym after all, who has the time amid Christmas preparations?

Simply lace up your trainers and step outside for the next five weeks. Not only will your silhouette slim, but your fitness will improve and the fresh air will help clear your mind. So, what are you waiting for?

Consider technique

If you want to ramp up the weight-loss effects of walking, increase your speed or vary the gradient - for example, walking uphill. 'If you're trying to hit your moderate-intensity aerobic target, that means you can still hold a conversation while walking but have an increased rate and depth of breathing,' says physiotherapist Aisling O'Malley. 'If you're going for a brisk walk to meet the vigorous-intensity target, walk as if you're late for an important meeting, so a more purposeful stride.'
