Heart Health 1 Mile Walk At Home (Low Impact!)
Improve your heart health with this east to follow heart health 1 mile walk at home. Walking is one of the best low-impact workouts you can do to improve your wellness. The best part about walking is that you can do it anywhere, even at home! My indoor walking workouts are beginner friendly, low impact, and simple to follow so that you can get moving consistently to see fitness results. Not only do these workout videos help keep your heart strong, they also aid in digestion, tone muscles, and improve your brain health. What’s not to love about that?! I made this 20 minute indoor walk thanks to my cardiologist brother who requested a video he could give to his patients who needed safe exercise to follow that would benefit their cardiovascular health and fitness level. This video is doctor approved but as always please consult with your health care team for personalized exercise recommendations.
If you are wearing a fitness tracker, I want you to track your heart rate and step count during the workout. You want to aim to keep your heart rate in an aerobic place. Please refer to this helpful guide on estimating your target heart rate from the American Heart Association. Every time you complete this workout I want you to aim to get a few more steps than you did the time before. Consistency is the key to results, so use this workout 2-4 times per week.
