Even if you do not need to lose weight, walking is a great exercise to stay fit and healthy. But unpleasant weather conditions can put the brakes on your outdoor workouts, which is why I like the indoor walking-based routines on Walking for Weight Loss.

Yep, you can take a calorie-burning walk at home; no treadmill required and you do not need to worry about showers or a heat wave outside.

During the 30- and 50-minute programs you will walk in place, but you will also do intervals (jumping and jogging) and strength training (basic moves like squats and lunges).

The non-walking segments of Walking for Weight Loss were a nice change of pace, but the scenery was perhaps the most motivating part of this program.

You can “walk� while looking at oceans and cliffs, which you probably never see on strolls around your neighborhood. [via: Shape]
