- Choose challenging routes with obstacles such as uneven surfaces, elevation changes and climbs. This will force the muscles to work more intensely.
- Try to vary the surface under your feet, alternately preferring sand, snow or stones, which will force the muscles to adapt to different angles of movement.
- Try to alternate walking speeds, creating intervals between intense and slow sections.
- Increase the intensity of your walking by speeding up the pace and adding more arm movements.
- You can use additional loads, such as a backpack, Nordic poles, or weights for the arms and legs.
- Combine walking with physical exercises such as arm swings, knee raises, or squats.
- Dress lightly while walking, try to wear fewer layers of clothing to move more intensely and thereby warm up more actively and at the same time lose calories.
- Include walking up stairs and up hills, which causes increased muscle work and increased calorie consumption.
- Increase your walking time to burn more calories. Walking for many hours can be not only useful, but also interesting if you try hiking or trekking routes.
- Sometimes you can alternate walking with light jogging, which helps increase the intensity of your workout and burn calories.
However, before starting a new training program, it is always recommended to seek advice from a specialist to tailor it to your needs and capabilities.
