Walking

How long does it take you guys to walk a mile? Also how often and do you walk and how many miles? Thanks. Robin

Lord, if I could walk a mile, I would be the happiest woman on earth. But I am working on 500 feet right now. Hugs, Debra

I walk a mile and a half in 30 minutes and do this at least 3-4 times a week. Hugs and prayers, Theresa

I started out walking a mile and a half in 30 minutes a few months ago at the gym. But it started bothering my foot and leg in front. so I just stayed on the treadmill 15 min. then came back for 15 more. This week I went for an evaluation to help maximize my exercise time. I found out that my leghurts because I have a heavy heel strike. And that more than 20-25 minutes isn't really more beneficial. So the plan is to add incline and keep the pace at 2.5 miles an hour, and increase incline to keep me in the pulse range that is right for me, 110 to 140. Frday this worked like a charm. I did a little over a mile in 25 minutes then slower without an incline for a cooldown. No pain. The Target heart range is based on your age but I don't know the formula.
