Day Four – The December Challenge

09 Dec Day Four – The December Challenge

Look how FAST we are WALKING!

Day Four!  This is a big Calorie Burn Challenge.  Here’s what Leslie has to say about Calorie Burn.  (Click here to read the Full Post!)

Our walks always move at a brisk pace – we design the speed (miles per hour) of the walk by the beats per minute of the music.  If you keep the pace of our walk and follow the arm movements at full intensity, you can burn at least 100 calories per mile.  Your body weight will determine if it will be a bit under this amount (a lighter body weight will burn less calories).  Others will burn over 100 calories because of a higher body weight.  And don’t forget all of our MUSCLE ACTIVATING Walk Boosters: if you use, for example, hand weights, bands, or belts, you BOOST the intensity of the Walk …. You BURN MORE calories!

In general, you can count on burning 400 calories today by taking a 4-mile Fitness Walk!  Now that’s the way to walk off a meal and promote healthy weight loss! Write to us on Facebook what your workout will be!
