Power Interval Walk is another free YouTube cardio walk from Jessica Smith. Peanut joins us for the entire workout, but she is curled up in her doggy bed behind Jessica, asleep. I really enjoyed this workout. It can be low impact if you need it to be by simply not increasing the impact on the intervals like Jessica does. Another short and effective cardio walk from Jessica.
Power Interval Walk is 30 minutes; 5 minute warm up and 2 minute cool down/stretch. You are marching in place between many of the moves.
