A Heart Healthy Program

(Beginner)

This is a great introductory program if you want to slowly increase your time spent walking. Each week builds on the previous one. If you find a particular week's pattern too tiring, repeat it before going on to the next week. If you are walking hills, you should slow your pace and/or intensity to balance out the increased effort. You don't have to complete the program in 12 weeks.
