Okay. You’re ready. You’ve already started walking for up to 30 minutes each day. You are convinced that walking will work for you. You feel better about yourself. You have more energy, you sleep better and when you wake up in the morning you want to get going. You know that all you need to do now is to step out,, walk longer and follow The Walk slim Diet and the pounds start to fall away.
But before you step up to a brisk, regular pace and begin your weight loss walkout you should warm up. Walking is safe and effective because it is a low-impact exercise and it uses muscles which you have been using all your life. Even so, a warm-up improves performance and can help prevent injury by increasing your body temperature with easy rhyth-mical movements. The following exercises are a balanced combination of limbering, mobility exercises and static stretches to raise the pulse, increase blood flow to the muscles and fluid to the joints, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue.
The warm-up exercises the main muscle groups which you use when you walk-the quadriceps (the large muscle group on the front of the thight ), the hamstrings (the back of the back thigh) and the calves and Achilles tendons found at the back of the lower leg from the knee down towards the heel. When these muscles are warmed and relaxed, it becomes can stretch get into a good walking rhythm and the muscles can stretch and lengthen more easily to help prevent injury or damage.
Always ease into your stretches using smooth slow move-ments. You should feel a mild comfortable tension as your body adjusts and eases into the different positions.
