Day 50 - Night
Walking
Night walking
requires additional safety measures. First, you need to make sure you can
be seen by any autos you may encounter. Drivers often don't think that
anybody would be out after dark. You may also want to take additional
personal safety precautions, and carry a flashlight so you can see holes
and road hazards.
Today's Walk:
40-75 minute walk in the fat-burning zone at 60-70% of your maximum heart
rate. Finish your walk at a moderate pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a
very easy pace.

Day 51 - Walking
in The Rain
You aren't made of sugar and you won't melt in the rain
- in fact, you are drip-dry. With the right gear, you won't even get wet.
Yes, you need to avoid walking in gully-washers that threaten to sweep you
into the storm drains. But you can go walking and singing in the rain. Or
- find a rain-avoidance route in a mall or on a treadmill.
Today's Walk:
45-75 minute walk
in the healthy heart zone 50-60% of your maximum heart rate. Finish your
walk at a moderate pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a very easy pace.
Day 52 - Winter Walking
There's
cold and then there's cold. For cold temperatures, you can keep walking by
wearing layered clothing and a hat and gloves. Take extra caution around
snow and ice. But if a real cold snap hits, or if the streets aren't
clear, then you may need to take up indoors walking on a track or
treadmill or in a mall.
Today's Walk:
40-75 minute walk in the fat-burning
zone at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. Finish your walk at a moderate
pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a very easy pace.

Day 53 - Walking in the Heat
Walking in hot weather can be
dangerous as well as unpleasant. Drinking enough water is the key, as well
as searching out shaded routes and picking the cool of the day when
possible. Know the signs of heat sickness and stay cool in the summertime.
Today's Walk:
40-75 minute walk in the healthy heart
zone 50-60% of your maximum heart rate. Finish your walk at a moderate
pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a very easy pace.

Day 54 - Walking in the Wind
The best strategy is to walking into
the wind at the start of your walk so you can finish with the wind at your
back. In high winds, avoid areas with trees or make it an inside-workout
day.
Today's Walk:
40-75 minute walk in the fat-burning
zone at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. Finish your walk at a moderate
pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a very easy pace.

Day 55 - Whatever Weather
Whatever the Weather
Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything
about it. Or do you? Do you let the weather keep you from exercising? Does
a nice day make you get out and do more?
Today's Walk:
40-75 minute walk in the healthy heart
zone 50-60% of your maximum heart rate. Finish your walk at a moderate
pace with 5 minutes of cool down at a very easy pace.
