14 Walking workouts to fight fat and boost energy

Phase 1: Stand with hands on hips and left foot about 3 feet in front of right foot, right heel off ground. Bend knees and lower hips 6 to 8 inches, keeping left knee behind toes and body weight balanced evenly over left heel and right toes (pictured; if you can't see front toes beyond knee, spread feet farther apart). Pause, then straighten legs and repeat. Complete a set of reps, switch legs, and repeat.

Phase 2: Start as in Phase 1. As you straighten legs, push off right foot and step it next to left foot to end in standing position. Step right foot back to start and repeat for one set. Switch legs and repeat.

Phase 3: Stand with feet together. Step left foot forward and lower into lunge. Push off with right foot and stand back up, feet together. Repeat with opposite leg and continue alternating legs, traveling forward.

Phase 4: Repeat Phase 3, but instead of bringing feet together as you return to standing, step back foot all the way forward into the next lunge.
