Message: [QUOTE="Improviser, post: 3814237, member: 10683"] One way to get into brisk walking is something I do myself. Either in your backyard, or at a field in a nearby park, take a kickball and kick the ball maybe 4-8 feet in front of you and this forces you to brisk walk or mildly jog to catch up with the ball, I alternate the feet so I may kick in with the right foot and when I catch up with it, then with the left foot. Actually, I don't always kick it straight ahead, but sometimes to the left rf right. This forces my body to change direction. I went to the football field at the nearby high school and went up and down the field and had a great time. You get the heart rate up. Wear an over the ear headset and listen to the music of your choice. This pushes you along. You are not running, but are walking or maybe mildly jogging. Simple, but effective. [/QUOTE]
