An effective training method: A training method that I apply regularly with my clients consists of alternating phases of active walking and slow walking phases. It is also a training that you can find in one of my video programs, the 66 cardio program.

Outside: I give you each session an MP3 version of the training. Download it to your player and press on play. Inside: Space two objects of 5 steps (5 meters). Your race will be between these 2 objects. It's ideal when you don't have that very little time and when the good weather is not there.
