One of the best ways to decrease belly fat is walk - and what better time to start walking than during my annual 4-Week Walking Challenge! With this challenge you will have 4-weeks of planned workouts; including weekly walking tutorials (that incrementally get harder!), quick and easy toning workouts, new stretch and recovery workouts, clean and simple recipes, and so much more - even a printable calendar! Walk that BELLY FAT off with ME!
Walking is one activity that requires no equipment, can be done anywhere, and is something most anyone can do. And if you already are working out regularly, adding walking into the mix is the perfect way to burn extra calories and fat, and mix up your workout routines! My Walking Challenge is just around the corner. This could be the perfect time for you to get walking!
How to Get Fit by Walking
I strongly believe that you shouldn’t have to change your entire life in order to live healthier. By making a few changes, you should be able to fit healthy habits easily into your everyday life. Walking is one of those easy changes that can drastically improve your well-being. Working out doesn’t actually have to feel like “working out”! And you can always start as slow as you need to.

While walking, you can burn fat, boost your metabolism, and/or lose weight. Exactly how much you get out of it will depend on the intensity of your walks and what other healthy habits you’re practicing during the rest of your time. My 4-Week Walking Challenge encourages you to walk every day for 30 minutes, along with quick, mini-workouts to tone up your whole body - it's one of my most popular challenges, so join today for free!My Tips for a Successful Walking Routine

My Tips for a Successful Walking Routine
Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your walks.- Wear the right shoes - supportive and not too worn out! You know I love my Easy Spirit's (use code DENISEWALK to save 20% here)!
- Schedule your walks for a time in the day that you will be able to commit to it. I like walking in the morning, but do what works for you!
- Bring a water bottle. It's important to stay hydrated - especially when it's hot outside!
- Track your steps - (so many have an activity tracker these days, or you can allow your phone to track them) it can help motivate you!
- Choose to walk instead of drive when you’re going somewhere close by.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible - extra steps count!
- Mix it up a bit - don’t go the same route or at the same pace every time
Different Types of Walking
Walking is such a great form of exercise, but sometimes you need to spice things up a bit. Try out any of the following for your 30 minutes of cardio.- Power walking. Go as fast as you can to really burn more calories!
- Hill or incline walking. This is will workout your booty and burn more fat and calories!
- Beach walking - an especially great workout for your calves!
- Interval walking (alternating moderate walking with speed walking)
- Walk indoors when the weather is inclement. Having a backup plan is key! I turn to my WalkingPad if I'm unable to make it outside. Get yours today, online here or you can pick up at your local Dicks Sporting Goods.
