Pilates Pro Nico Gonzalez Shares Walking Workouts for All Levels
Nico Gonzalez, a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor with over two decades of experience, shares his expertise on walking workouts. He recommends this low-impact exercise for its daily use and calorie-burning benefits.
Gonzalez starts with a 20-minute walking routine, suitable for all levels. Beginners should warm up at a slow pace for a minute, then alternate between two minutes of steady pace and two minutes of fast pace with arm pumping. Cool down with a minute of slow walking.
For intermediates, Gonzalez suggests a more intense version. After a minute of steady-paced warm-up, alternate between 30 seconds of fast pace and 30 seconds of steady pace for eight intervals. Cool down with a minute of steady walking. To increase resistance, he advises adding a weighted vest once a good routine is established.

He encourages outdoor walking for mental and physical benefits, backed by research.
