[Health Tip] Interval Walking Exercise

The thing I am working hardest on for my health is

Walking exercise!!! That's right.

Are other exercises, especially strength training, not suitable for my constitution?

After just one try, I was completely knocked out ㅠㅠ )

On days when I eat a lot

I'm trying to walk more 🤗

 

The core of my 10,000-step walking challenge is 'interval walking'❗

 

When I first tried the Running Crew Challenge in the past

At first, running, walking, walking, running

I barely managed to finish.

At that time, my weight and belly fat decreased the most😍

 

So I always walk ten thousand steps a day, but I didn't run as hard as the running crew.

Consciously repeating walking slowly and running.

I'm planning to do interval training!

Interval walking exercise, in a word,

It refers to an exercise that alternates between running and walking.

If you get tired while running, walk.

It refers to repeatedly running and walking again when breathing becomes comfortable again.

 

For me, who is still not accustomed to running, slowly.

However, it was a consistent and effective way to improve stamina 😉

 

To explain in more detail,

Think of the first five minutes as warming up your body.

Walk while gently rotating your neck, shoulders, and waist.

 

Run for 3 minutes when your body gradually warms up.

When breathing becomes labored, walk again for 3 minutes.

I repeated walking and running in this set over and over.

 

The point to be careful about here is if you suddenly run.

Because blood pressure rises or blood vessels contract suddenly due to surprise

 

At first, I thought I was just doing stretching like me.

Don't run suddenly; it's better to walk sufficiently before running 😊

 

The effects of interval walking discussed here!!

1. It may seem like a little less than 30 minutes, but

30 minutes is enough at first.

If you exercise to the point of sweating a little

You will definitely experience firsthand the improvement in your physical strength.

You know that the calf is the second heart, right?

When your calf muscles become stronger, you find a second health.

​

2. People with diabetes have lowered blood sugar levels.

Honestly, they say that walking more makes you lose more.

But I think it would be good to start with about 30 minutes without being greedy from the beginning.

And exercising during the daytime is better because you get sunlight and it's more enjoyable than in the early morning or at night.

When exposed to sunlight, vitamin D becomes activated, and

Getting good sleep is also good for mental health.

​

It's also good for patients with high blood pressure.

Even just walking can lower blood pressure.

 

If you are elderly, you should exercise while taking blood pressure medication, but

For young people, even just walking with interval training

They say the effects have improved to the point where you no longer need to take medication.

​

4. It is also effective for knee joints.

Of course, elderly people may get tired, but that's an exception.

For most people, just walking

It is sufficiently good for joint health improvement and also effective in improving osteoporosis.

​

Because walking and all other exercises are for health.

Please be sure to follow the precautions that do not harm your health💁‍♀️

 

Suddenly starting exercise,

Muscle surprise or narrowing of blood vessels may occur.

As I mentioned earlier, before and after the start

Doing simple stretches is essential.

Especially, make sure to stretch your legs and lower body thoroughly.

It is good to gently relax the muscles so they do not become startled.

​

And if your knees are not good while doing interval exercise,

You must never overexert yourself and should stop running.

 

Running is especially beneficial for people who are overweight or obese.

Because it puts a lot of strain on the knees

In such cases, it's better to focus on walking rather than running.

 

Walking a little faster just enough to make you sweat slightly, or,

Repeat walking slowly.

 

Doing power walking and walking slowly,

This can also be called interval exercise.

​

Interval training should be tailored to your physical condition.

It's good to exercise without overexertion.

Especially, if the knee gets damaged, it is difficult to recover.

 

Don't push yourself too hard with exercise from the beginning.

It's good to gradually increase the intensity slowly and steadily.

 

Just 30 minutes of walking a day can our body

Since you have become very healthy, I hope you won't forget and will continue to walk regularly.

​

There are times when walking over ten thousand steps for more than a year becomes boring.

There were times when I doubted whether it really works.

Trying this interval walking as well

Certainly, I can feel my stamina improving compared to before, starting with my breathing 🙂
