Put it in third gear

Today was another great day for a walk during my lunch break. I dedicated the first 10 minutes to Shanna. I've been listening to a book about walking while I walk. The author lead me through 10 minutes of a good peppy walk. My focus fixed on an object straight ahead in the distance, arms relaxed. After 10 minutes, I had to get back into the building for a bathroom break. I needed to do a heavy excretion. Once, my bowels were cleansed, I returned to my walk. This second 10 minutes was dedicated to Joelle and it was kicked up a notch. Elbows slightly bent and I walked at a pace set for 120 steps per minute. This pace is considered a good fat burning walk. The last 10 minutes dedicated to myself, was going all out for a cardio walk. The pace was 150 steps per minute and it was quite challenging to keep that pace for ten minutes. I found it easier to keep the pace by jogging rather than power walking it.
I worked up a good sweat.
