Programme information

I do lots of activity, but walking is one of my favourites – especially when I do it with friends and get to do my other favourite activity at the same time – talking!

I have both a beginner and intermediate walking plan. Both plans were developed by a couple of NZ's top fitness trainers.

If you've had less than 2 years walking experience, no health problems but a low level of fitness you're probably a BEGINNER.

If you've got 3-5 years experience, no health problems and an average level of fitness try the INTERMEDIATE plan. Remember to keep your fluids up and enjoy!

You can also create your own tailor-made walking programme at www.activesmart.co.nz.

Note: Unfortunately a layout error occurred in the stretching section of the Push Play Nation Activity Diary.  The hamstring, short calf muscle and front thigh diagrams were transposed.  An updated version is available here.
