Welcome to the “Burn More Calories on Your Walk” online on-demand class provided by SilverSneakers. Are you an elderly senior or older adult who enjoys walking as a heart-healthy exercise? If so, we have some fantastic ideas to help you get stronger and make the most out of your walks.
Walking is a wonderful way to maintain cardiovascular health and overall fitness. It’s a low-impact exercise that can be easily incorporated into your daily routine, offering numerous benefits for your heart, muscles, and overall well-being. In this class, we will share a variety of walking exercises and techniques to help you burn more calories and increase the effectiveness of your walks.
Whether you are a beginner or have been walking for years, our experienced instructors will guide you through different variations and ideas to add more intensity and strength to your walks. By incorporating these techniques, you can make your walks more challenging and rewarding.
Our class focuses on a range of walking exercises specifically designed for seniors. These exercises include interval training, where you alternate between periods of moderate intensity and short bursts of increased effort. This approach helps boost your heart rate, burn more calories, and improve your cardiovascular endurance.
In addition to interval training, we will introduce techniques to engage different muscle groups during your walk. Incorporating arm movements, such as swinging your arms or using light weights, can increase the overall calorie burn and provide an upper body workout while walking.
As we progress through the class, we will also explore techniques to vary your walking terrain. Adding inclines, stairs, or uneven surfaces challenges your muscles and helps build strength and stability. These variations can be easily incorporated into your outdoor walks or replicated using a treadmill or stairs at home.
At SilverSneakers, we understand the importance of customization and individual needs. Our instructors will provide modifications and options suitable for different fitness levels and abilities. We encourage you to listen to your body, work at your own pace, and gradually increase the intensity of your walks as you feel comfortable.
This on-demand class allows you to participate from the comfort of your own home or outdoor space. All you need is a comfortable pair of walking shoes and a desire to enhance your heart-healthy exercise routine. The class can be accessed at any time, giving you the flexibility to fit it into your schedule.
