Power Walk is a steady state, low impact cardio walk from Jessica Smith and I loved it. It was definitely not very intense but it was just what I needed for my doubles workout today. I just started Level 3 of Mark Lauren‘s 90 Day Challenge and it is kicking my butt! I needed something less intense but still effective. Power Walk gave me some light, low impact cardio and some body weight conditioning, too. Peanut is with us throughout the entire workout, looking very sleepy on a mat behind Jessica.
Power Walk is 30 minutes; 5:30 minute warm up and 3:30 minute cool down/stretch. You march in place between most of the moves.

- Step side to side, lowering into a squat each time you step to the side

- With most of your weight on one leg, tap other leg behind you on a diagonal; add reaching arms overhead; do 4 reps on each side; do 2 on each side; changes to singles, alternating sides
