Walking Workout Schedule for Weight Loss
Use this plan to walk off weight. When you are walking to lose weight, following a workout schedule will help you be consistent and ensure you are getting the amount of exercise you need to burn calories and fat. But your walking workout doesn't have to be the same old grind every day. It is good to alternate short walking days and long walking days, with a rest day as needed.
