Nationally-recognized fitness expert and contributing editor, Leslie Sansone developed the number one indoor walking program, Walk at Home. Available from home shopping networks and retailers, the fitness program features a variety of walking-based moves that burn calories and tone muscles all in the comfort of your own home. The walk belt features two resistance bands with handles that incorporate strength training with the walking exercises. The program also features guidelines for healthy eating as well as the ability to keep track of your progress online.
Bicep Curls
Using a walk belt, you may be able to burn calories and strengthen your biceps and shoulders more efficiently. Grab the handles of the resistance bands and slowly bend your arms towards your shoulders. The walk belt provides up to six lbs. of resistance. If you are new to exercise, start off with a low amount of reps. As your fitness levels improve, gradually increase the amount of reps.
Triceps Extensions
Utilize the walk belt in your efforts to fight fat and flabby underarms with the addition of triceps extensions. Grab the handles of the resistance bands and bend your arms back so that your elbows point towards the ceiling and your palms face each other. Slowly bring your arm upwards towards the ceiling. Hold this position for a second or two then slowly bring your arm back down. To make this move more challenging, place both handles in one hand and perform the exercise.
Intervals
Intervals involve spending a short amount of time on an exercise yet performing the exercise at a higher intensity. Use the walk belt and walk at a brisk pace for one minute then switch to a full jog for another minute. Alternate between different strength training exercises such as bicep curls or triceps extensions. Spend 30 seconds to one minute performing strength training exercises as quickly as you can, making sure to maintain proper form throughout your workout.
Other Considerations
Strap the walk belt on your waist and perform strength training exercises as you walk around your neighborhood or at the gym. Be sure to warm your muscles up prior to exercising and drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise. Start off with program-designed gentle paces exercises then increase the intensity once your fitness levels improve. The fitness program also features guidelines for a healthy diet.
