Walk This Way

I had a crazy idea while working out over the weekend. Crazy in the sense that it wasn’t the safest thing in the world to try, but with a little modification I thought it might work. As you know treadmill walking is a tried and true method for burning calories, and toning the lower half of your body, BUT…it gets kind of boring after awhile. I decided to shake it up a bit, by walking sideways. Not the best idea. I believe my treadmill was the first one off the assembly line and is devoid of any padding or sound structure, so I lowered the speed to 1.6 in hopes of walking at a steady, even pace. Still not a good idea. Trying to keep up with the machine resulted in my feet getting twisted and me flying off the end. The next light bulb that went off was to try and walk backwards. Slightly better footing but it took too much concentration, and my form and technique was horrible. Basic walking, primarily targets the quadriceps, (front of the thigh) and for a balanced workout you want to Sony HVR-V1E work the opposing muscle group, the hamstrings (back of the thigh). Other than wanting to add some spice to my workout, I needed to work Ardo холодильники my hamstrings, abductors and adductors (outer and inner thighs) as well. Still believing that lateral and backwards walking was a good idea, I decided to hop off the antiquated treadmill and just go for it on land.
