Design Your Ultimate Fitness Program - Walking: Learn How to Tailor a Walking Program That Will Get You to Your Fitness Goal!

In my book "Design Your Ultimate Fitness Program - Walking", we discuss the considerations that need to be made when designing a custom walking program, along with:
• Equipment needed
• Wearable technology you can use to track your walking
• And how to make walking more challenging

Equipment Needed
Basically a good pair of walking shoes fitted to your feet and moisture-wicking socks are all the minimum equipment that is needed. Of course, you'll want to tailor what you wear to the weather at the time you walk. Be sure to layer so you can take off pieces as you heat up.

Wearable Technology
Gadgets to track your stats can range from a simple pedometer to a fancy accelerometer that not only tracks steps, but calories and sleep. Many of the items also have apps associated with them that allow you to track trends, both eating and fitness.

Make Walking More Challenging
If you keep doing the same walk for the same amount of time, eventually you'll hit a plateau where you are not seeing any forward progress. There are changes you can make to your walking program that further challenge your body, so you can again see progress either on the scale, in your energy level or increased muscle strength.
