Walking Tutorial (20 min)
Before you start training, THIS IS A PREREQUISITE. If you are not getting AEROBIC exercise unbroken for at minimum 20 min a day, everything you learn in the training videos is not your priority. Your priority is to MOVE WITHOUT STOPPING for 20 min every single day until you build the aerobic base required to get result from & be able to have the basic health and energy for strength training.
Obviously strength training is absolutely essential for basic health as well, but the #1 most important lever for your lifespan (how long you live) and healthspan (how good you feel while alive) is your v02 Max. V02 Max is a measure of your AEROBIC fitness level.
Without an “aerobic base” (very very basic aerobic fitness level — nothing fancy), you will not have proper blood flow to your muscles for strength training, blood flow to your brain and organs for basic health functions, energy to train via mitochondria in muscles (mitochondria exist as a result of aerobic muscle functions), and stamina to perform the workouts prescribed in this program.
Make a vow to your health and happiness, and just start walking — or anything aerobic: stationary bike/elliptical (great for individuals with hip/back/foot pain), swimming, rowing, even dancing or housework! I recommend doing something you enjoy so you’ll look forward to it. If you can walk pain free, watch this video and get inspired to walk!
I go over IMPORTANT TECHNIQUES to help you get the most out of walking, and perhaps more important WHAT NOT TO DO.
