Walk & wog

Have you heard about wogging? It's a combination of walking and jogging done alternately during a workout. The trick is to alternate the two. For instance, walk for 8 minutes, then jog for 2 minutes - repeat that pattern 3 times for a total of 30 minutes. Some people build up their endurance by slowly changing some of the walking minutes to jogging. So you might end up repeating this new pattern 3 times: walk for 5 minutes, then jog for 5 minutes.

I've been adding jogging to my walking workout, just a little at a time. It feels good to get your heart pumping for a few minutes. But then it feels good to slow down to a walk again, too. Overall, I find it makes the walking more enjoyable. Wogging...who knew?
