How I’m Staying in Shape by Turning My Daily Stroll Into Hard Exercise - MarketWatch

If I read one more time that walking is the best exercise, I’m going to take a few steps and scream.

True, walking is the most practicable exercise.

The problem is that ordinary walking won’t push your heartbeat rate into the same zone as running or a fast bicycle ride or even a game of pickleball, one study found.

There are simple tricks you can use to transform leisurely walks into intense exercise.

Perhaps the best trick of all is to walk really fast.

But I have kept relatively fit by going on a hard daily walk.

Like any exercise regime, you should talk to your doctor before doing intense walking.

Here are the tactics I used to step up my daily walking routine.

Short bursts of intense workout woven into your daily walk will greatly improve its cardiovascular benefits.

When I don’t feel like walking fast, I put on a 30-pound backpack and walk through a nearby forest with some hills.

The fastest I’ve managed recently isn’t quite 5 miles an hour—less than half the pace of Bosworth!—and a 4 mile walk at that pace left me completely thrashed

My legs were almost quivering by the end because—I can’t believe I’m writing this—walking can be the best exercise if done right
