Читать книгу The 7-Day GL Diet: Glycaemic Loading for Easy Weight Loss - Nigel Denby - Страница 17

That’s an easy one. The ‘talk test’ is a really simple way of judging whether you are walking fast and hard enough. While you are walking, start talking (even to yourself!). Yes, people may stare but that’s their problem. If you can talk away as normal you can probably go faster or include more of an incline on your circuit. If you can still talk but need to catch your breath you are spot on and can keep going. If you can’t talk, have turned purple and keeled over, you are probably trying too hard.

Seriously, don’t go mad. Start gradually and build up to a level that just gets you feeling a little warmer and increases your breathing rate. At some point that level will feel quite normal and will require little or no effort. That’s the time to see if you can go faster, harder or longer.

So what’s stopping you? Rise to the Diet Freedom walk challenge – we know you can do it!
