WEEK 3
Congratulations! You have completed the first 2 weeks and it is now time to increase the training load. Weeks 3 and 4 require you to move to 4 days/week. You can select any 4 days but it is better to spread it out as much as possible. If you are unable to complete all four sessions please remember that completing any number is better than none. On the other 3 days you are encouraged to walk continuously for 20 – 30 minutes at an uncomfortable pace. You will need a stop watch for some of the sessions. You could even download a free timing device from the app store (for example, Interval Timer)
