Walk the WEIGHT OFF! | Lose Weight with a Walking Workout for All Ages | Day 1 Walk at Home Program

This interval training program is suitable for anyone who can currently walk for 30 minutes 4-6 times a week. If you are at that fitness level then you can start this program (suitable exercise for seniors, beginners, and people of all ages). Interval training is geared for burning calories and fat, building muscle, and getting past that plateau effect that so many people hit. Interval training uses brief bursts of high-intensity activity which provides the effects people are looking for...more results!

Today's workout (day 1) is our first interval training day. We'll walk at a regular pace for 10 minutes then go as fast as we can for 1 minute. The speed you go for the 1 minute needs to be geared to YOUR fitness level. It might be a fast walk, a slow jog or a run. It doesn't matter what you do as long as you are working out as hard as YOU can for the 1 minute. If you're just starting out, then just walk faster than your usual pace. I apologize for repeating this but you really need to cater the intervals to YOUR fitness level. If you are used to jogging, then during the 1 minute, go as fast as you can. After our first 1 minute fast walk/jog, we are going to go slower for 2 minutes. We'll complete 5 rounds of the 1 minute fast walk/2 minute regular walk and then finish with a 5 minute cool-down.

The breakdown of each day:
Day 4: Rest day or a gentle walk (there is no video)

Ideally, you'll continue this workout for 4 weeks. When I did this workout 20 some odd years ago, I shed weight really quickly. I had about 20 pounds to lose and I lost it. Interval training is super effective if done properly. As with anything, your body will start to get used to the workout so I'll create a new program for weeks 5-8. It'll just be a bit more challenging which is what your body will need at that point. Please email me if you have any questions about the workouts. Always listen to your body and take an extra day off at any point if you really feel you need it. The last thing you want is injuries so definitely listen to your body and go at the pace that suits your body and your fitness level.

If you enjoyed the workout, please subscribe and write a comment! I'd love to hear from you!

Wishing you improved health!

If you can, stick with this program for 4-6 weeks before moving on to the next stage of the program. Give your body time to adjust in order to get the best benefits (and to prevent injuries). Go at YOUR own pace and work within your limits and abilities. I look forward to hearing from you as you see progress and results!

I am in tears, after being overweighed for 25 years I managed to lose 75 kg and guess what? I could do this exercise!!

Your videos popping up in my Q are a blessing! I lost both my dogs within the last 3 months and walking them was my main source of exercise. I just cannot bring myself to go for a walk without them now. Decreased exercise has not been helping my depression. This workout is my first since my second dog passed. Your pleasant demeanor, encouraging words on screen and the level of effort required were absolutely perfect for me today. Did I cry through some of it…absolutely…but I did not stop. I will be seeing you daily from now on. I have a daughter in college and I need to stay healthy for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Know you have helped me and I am sure many many more out there. Peace. 💚

I am 65, and you snuck in 5 minutes of "RUNNING" - I haven't run since college! Awesome!!

[Maureenmac]

OMG! This is fabulous. I can certainly do this for 4-6 weeks. Thanks Jules it was fun!

[tanyad]

I'm not a senior yet, but I think these programs are for everyone! I especially love the one minute high intensity intervals! The programs are easy to follow but you feel like you have really used your body!👍👏

[donnahuffmaster]

Thank you! Finally a program that truly is for seniors. Your routines are helping me get my health back one workout at a time! So very grateful!

[karter]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR WORKOUTS! I just found you a couple weeks ago and am totally hooked and sharing with others. I'm doing your interval series and getting stronger every day. Thank you for all you do to create these workouts for all of us!

[patriciaharper]

I just can't tell you how awesome these workouts are! As a 65-year-old with arthritis, your workouts are the only ones that don't make me hurt even more. I usually do one in the morning then another one after dinner. I feel SO much better after doing these workouts. Please keep them coming!

[caroledeletiner]

I love this program. I'm 73 and have bad knees and I’m amazed that I can keep up and not be in pain when the workout is over. This is the perfect speed and intensity for me. Thank you so much!

I just finished 4 weeks of Level 1 today. Whoo Hooo!! Moving on to Level 2 tomorrow. At first I didn't see results in my shape other than feeling better in general. Probably because I have a way to go on this journey, BUT this past week I did start to notice a change in my physical appearance. Can't wait to see what happens at the end of these next 4 weeks & the 4 weeks at Level 3! Thanks so much for inspiring me to do this by selecting exercises that work for Seniors or people with physical ailments. 🤩💪🏃‍♀️

🌸🌸🌸 A hop, skip and a dance down a lane of cherry blossoms on a beautiful spring day!
So uplifting, thank you for these workouts we can do just about anywhere.

You have been a blessing to my workout regimen. I have lost inches, although gained some weight, it’s been muscle weight. I can see results after the first week. I have been lifting weights and strength training to no good end. I will follow this program all the way through. Best part is, when I travel I can still do with workouts through the phone app as well!! Thank you!!

[anniem]

I think these videos were made for me! For years I’ve been looking for something dance based that wasn’t too hard but that meant that I could push my limits. I’m 70 and thoroughly enjoying trying them all! This series I’m hoping will help me to lose a little weight (as long as I don’t treat myself to something sweet and gooey as a reward!).
Thank you so much!

[negin]

Yet another fabulous workout. Thank you, Jules. My husband was walking by while I was doing this. He sometimes comments on my videos. He looked at you, and said, "Oh. She looks like a nice person." I laughed and said that he's spot on, and that you ARE nice.

[estam]

I just finished this workout and came straight onto my computer to tell you how much I enjoyed it! I am of an age where I have my limits, and your videos suit my needs to the T. I'm so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏❤

[normgayford]

After experiencing so many of your workouts, I have finally gotten to the place where I want to follow through on an entire program. That began today. Thank you, as usual, for these marvelous routines, pitched just right, bringing sweat and joy and an upbeat feel to the morning.

[anntews]

Boy what a great workout. Really felt it especially in my legs. They kinda feel like jello right now. I finished it and going at my own pace. Just the fact of moving is awesome. I want to stay on my feet and able to take care of myself and am able to do just that because of workouts like these. Thanks so very much Jules.

[loonielaura]

Jules you had made a comment about incorporating Intervals into our workout schedules at least a couple times a week. I have been doing this for a couple months and this is the first time I have made it running all 5 intervals. I have COPD so for me, it is a huge accomplishment. Not to mention strengthening my lungs. Thanks Jules for being such an inspiration.

[janmckay]

Hi from Brisbane, Australia. I'm in lockdown again (our country does that alot😁) and am so glad I discovered your program yesterday. Completed day 1 and 2. Loved the music and your lovely smile and gentle voice. Thank you for your generosity in posting theses vids. Stay well everyone
