Determine Your Level

In order to prevent injury, it is recommended that you take a training program best suited to your current fitness level. Walkers in this program work out at an even faster pace four to five times a week. The pace is brisk, so you need to be comfortable at the intermediate pace levels before moving to the advanced levels.
