When my young daughters are in bed and I want to get my steps in but can\u2019t leave the house, I love nothing more than an indoor walking workout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great way to boost heart health, improve cardiovascular fitness and mood, and I know that I\u2019ll feel so much better by the end.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of my health goals this year is to improve my balance and increase my bone density, and walking can help with both.<\/p>\n

I recently tried this walking session by YanaFit<\/a>, a fitness influencer who is known for having one of the most popular 10,000-step workouts<\/a> on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my verdict on the 51-minute session.<\/p>\n

\nCardio doesn\u2019t have to mean jumping<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t stop moving during this 7,000-step walking workout, which includes moves like air punches and standing crunches.<\/p>\n

This constant low-impact movement translates into an excellent cardio session, without any jumping.<\/p>\n

By the end of the 51 minutes, I was feeling hot, sweaty and ready for a shower.<\/p>\n

It challenged my co-ordination and concentration<\/p>\n

The workout combines cross-lateral exercises (moving from one side to the other) and contra-lateral exercises (moving opposing limbs in different directions), which kept me on my toes.<\/p>\n

The shoulder taps, side steps and knee-to-elbow moves challenged both my coordination and concentration. When I finished, I felt focused and refreshed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s best for beginners<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to exercise or coming back after a break, this walking workout is great.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed it but it could have been a bit more challenging, especially as one of my goals this year is to improve my bone density.<\/p>\n

Next time I do the workout I\u2019ll be adding some heavier resistance, using a couple of dumbbells or my weighted vest<\/a>, which is better for stimulating bone growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When my young daughters are in bed and I want to get my steps in but can\u2019t leave…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[6647,102,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-75436","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
