Build Muscle With Walking

Whether you're recovering from an illness or an accident, or have just discovered that you're lacking a bit of muscle, it's time to start building muscle, the easy way. You can do so by setting yourself up for an exercise plan. You don't have to exercise for hours a day in order to build muscle; believe it or not, starting out with walking is one of the best ways to start building up your muscles.

 

If you're just beginning your exercise regime, keep it short and sweet and then plan to increase it slowly. If you start exercising too hard, there's a good chance you're going to become painfully sore and will eventually get discouraged and quit. So if you're going to start walking, keep it short the first time or two and then lengthen it out.

Before starting any exercise regime make sure you get a complete physical from your doctor. You may have underlying reasons for not having muscle, and he may be able to suggest a healthy way to begin an exercise plan.

If you have not been walking for several years, you may find that your first time out is rather difficult. Instead of thinking of it as exercise, take a half an hour or an hour, and slowly stroll along a place that you enjoy. Stop and rest when you need to, and then move on. By trying to move too quickly when you first begin walking, not only are you going to be uncomfortable, but the next day when you start out you may be sore. Keep soreness to a minimum by planning your exercise regime at a low level to start with.

Once you're up and walking two to three miles a day on a regular basis, you can begin to build even more muscle. You can add simple ankle and wrist weights to your arms and legs easily and quickly through your walking regime. Once again, start out slowly by packing the weights for a short trip, and then get to the point where you can do your regular exercise regime with the weights on.

There are several types of weights that you can use ranging from very, very light, to quite heavy. When you begin your walking program with weights to build muscle, make sure you start out with light weights, and then add more weight in increments over time. Many of the designs today allow you to conveniently add additional weight to the same ankle or wrist as you progress.

It's fairly simple to build muscle by walking, and you don't need to join any expensive gyms or buy any bulky weight training equipment to do so. Just remember to start out with a short plan, and stroll in instead of walk quickly. As you slowly gain strength, you can increase your speed and also add weights to your walking regime to build muscle. Before you know it, your muscles will become larger and more defined, and you'll also enjoy a light aerobic workout from your walks in the fresh air as well!
