Gentle Movement

Part of the DietDitch lifestyle is to add gentle movement into your day and we like to do this with walking. Having said this there are walks and there are walks. It is lovely to go on a stroll on a sunny afternoon, maybe along the beach or at your local park. All that fresh air can only be good for you.

To increase your cardiovascular fitness however, there has to be a bit of huff and puff and some effort. We do not want you to overdo it so make sure your ‘puff’ is a light one. If you feel you want to step it up a bit maybe you could try the walk, jog, walk sequence – walk for a minute or two, jog for a minute or two. Carry this sequence on for 20 to 30 minutes and you will soon find your fitness increasing. When your fitness level improves you may want to add a minute sprint into the equation as well.
