The plan of Stephanie Mansour, personal trainer and wellness coach, is not only ideal for the “get back on track” when you are not in physical condition and seek to resume the habit of exercising, it is also perfect so that you can do it when you are on vacation (of course, as long as we follow the rules and protocols of each city we visit in times of COVID-19).
Literally, you only need to follow a super easy plan that consists of nothing more and nothing less than walking and so, according to the trainer you will be able to lose weight, as long as you follow the steps for a month.
The training has three categories that must be intercalated in 31 days: training “A” (which is the easiest), training “B” (which is more complex) and rest.
The 31 days are divided as follows:
- Training A are the days: 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 14, 19 and 25.
- Training B are the days: 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31.
- The breaks are the days: 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 28.
Now, what does each workout consist of?
Training A:
- Start with a 3 minute slow warm-up (that means walking at your normal pace).
- Follow with 1 minute of brisk walking.
- Then go back to doing 2 minutes of quiet walking.
- After completing the previous step, do 12 minutes alternating between fast and slow pace.
- Finish your workout with 3 minutes of slowing down to cool down and relax your muscles.
Training B:
- Start with a 3 minute slow warm-up (walk at your normal pace).
- Take 1 minute of brisk walking.
- Follow with 1 minute of leisurely walking.
- For 10 minutes alternate between a fast and leisurely pace.
- Then take a minute of brisk walking.
- Follow with 30 seconds of leisurely walking and continue with 6 minutes alternating between fast and leisurely pace.
- Finish your workout with 3 minutes of slowing down to cool down and relax your muscles.
