A daily run helps improve your body's ability to burn fat , along with your biomechanics. It also teaches your mind to blast through any challenge, whether it's physical or mental.
This plan will help you start running, by adding short bursts of running to your regular walks. At the end of this seven-week plan, you’ll be able to complete 175 minutes of run/walking workouts per week, running for about twice the amount of time that you spend walking.
Midstance is defined as the time at which the lower extremity limb of focus is in knee flexion directly underneath the trunk, pelvis and hips. It is at this point that propulsion begins to occur as the hips undergo hip extension, the knee joint undergoes extension and the ankle undergoes plantar flexion.
. Propulsion continues until the leg is extended behind the body and toe off occurs. This involves maximal hip extension, knee extension and plantar flexion for the subject, resulting in the body being pushed forward from this motion and the ankle/foot leaves the ground as initial swing begins.
The plan includes four workouts per week with an optional fifth day. The first workout is a 20-minute walk, and the plan builds gradually so that by the end of the program, you should be able to work out for 55 minutes - run/walking.
