The Women's Health 4-Week Walking Plan: Burn Fat, Build Muscle is your ticket to turning your daily stroll into something that helps you meet your fitness goals. And, it's all yours now that you're a WH+ member.
This 28-day plan—created by Equinox trainer and walking and running coach Elizabeth Corkum (a.k.a. Coach Corky)—is science-backed and created by a trainer to maximize *all* the health benefits you can get out of a walk (including: cardiovascular improvements, bone density boosts, and increased calorie burn and muscular endurance and growth).
Plus, the workouts are super fun—if we do say so ourselves. So, grab your favorite walking sneakers, a weighted vest or backpack, and some headphones—and get ready to walk this way.
