I’ve got a brand new copy of Walk Slim – 4 Fast Miles to give to you. The video also comes with a Super Foods Eating Plan booklet.

I’ve used this DVD in the past and it was awesome. The 4-mile walk is a wonderful workout, but there is also a 2 and 3 mile workout on the tape if you can’t do the whole 4 miles or have a busy day where you don’t have the time.

Here’s a quick clip:

I think you will love this DVD!

Want to win? Just leave a comment on this post by Thursday, January 8th. I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day. Good luck!

Rhonda said, “I love Kathy Smith. I’ve been working out with her for a long time. This is a great video for women and men who are getting older and need to do lower impact exercises.”

I hear ya. My knees are just not what they used to be, and I’m finding that walking DVDs are the way to go! I hope you enjoy it!

Winner of Kathy Smith Power Walk

This research caught my eye…

The report finds that arthritis appears to be a barrier to being physically active for people with diabetes. Despite the fact that physical activity helps control blood glucose levels and reduces joint pain, people with both diseases are more likely to be physically inactive (29.8%) compared to those with diabetes alone (20.1%).

It is a two sided blade. It is a fight that so many have to deal with and I can appreciate the conclusions that were yielded due to the research and numbers. The article also offered up a great set of tips. See below.

Tips for Exercising with Arthritis

• Walk At Least Three Days per Week: Walking for exercise should take low-to-moderate exertion. Set a goal to walk 10 minutes every day, to start. Consider increasing your goal to 10 minutes three times a day or 30 minutes a day at least three times each week.
• Stretch: It is important to stretch before and after walking. Remember that walking involves more than just your legs, so be sure to also stretch your lower back, chest and arms as well.
• Bring a Friend: Having a walking partner is a great way to stay motivated! You encourage each other to stay active, but talking as you walk is a great way to pass the time.
• Maintain a Healthy Weight: As people gain weight they increase the stress placed on their joints, particularly their knees. Not to mention that being overweight may cause a person to become tired quickly and not able to follow a healthy exercise regimen.
