Tips for Success

Wear a stopwatch to help keep track of your intervals
If using a treadmill, you can either increase the speed or increase the incline during the “brisk” intervals
Standard pace should be at a level you can carry on a full conversation, brisk pace should be at a level you can answer a comfortable “yes” or “no” (not winded/out of breath)
Remember to gently stretch before and after each walk to help minimize soreness
