Walking Indoors for Weight Loss

It is morning. You had a good nights sleep and you totally feel refreshed.You decide to make yourself a nice cup of green tea to give you a morning boost. The tea is gone, you feel energized, so you decide that you will go for a walk outside. Nowhere fancy, just around the neighborhood. You put on your walking gear and are super pumped to get out there and tear some sidewalk up. You go and raise the window blinds,peer out, and you suddenly have the urge to throw a tantrum like a little child. You totally neglected to check the weather, and all you see now is a bunch of rain falling down. Nothing severe, but there is no way you feel like sloshing around the wet neighborhood. Well, this one example of a situation when indoor fitness walking can be your alternative choice. I personally choose indoor walking as my first choice instead of an alternative, because it is so much more practical for me. I don't have to even put on decent clothes to start getting my fitness fix. I can walk in the comfort of my home with nothing on but my skivvies and athletic shoes...lol. I have been really trying to take a walk at least 5 to 6 times per week. I love it so much. Indoor fitness walking is the perfect workout for me to get energy and not kill myself during the workout. Often, non-indoor fitness walkers can not understand why us indoor fitness walkers don't just go outside and walk.Well, sometimes weather,time,and location do not permit it. Also, many people think that you are simply standing in one place while walking indoors, and it is boring and "too easy". The previous statements are far from the truth! Most indoor fitness walking programs are more that just walking. Some incorporate cool music, jogging, and aerobic type moves that you would be less likely to do if you were walking outside. I like to fitness walk using Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home DVDs, and music player. I like her walks because there are various moves you do throughout the walk that work out your entire body (legs,arms,stomach,etc.). I also love how fun and encouraging Leslie is in her DVDs. I purchased most of my DVDs from WalMart, but you can buy them at many retailers.There is also a Walk at home YouTube channel with some walks available to view. If you have any interest in indoor walking, you can give a walk a try and see how it makes you feel.Visit the Walk at Home website at www.walkathome.com .
