30 Minute Power Walk + Upper Body Strength + Balance Workout is a very basic low impact cardio walk from AngieFitnessTV. Each exercise (after the warm up) is done for one minute. You are doing basic walk moves with arm strengthening exercises. You are using light hand weights but you are doing a lot of reps. I also wore a 10 pound weighted belt and ankle weights to increase the intensity. I wish I could share how many calories I burned but my FitBit did not record this workout for some reason. I did this in combination with another of Angie’s walking workouts: Power Walk with Upper Body Focus. However, my FitBit is giving me a total for the day and it is still early morning, so I am estimating that, between the two cardio walks, I walked approximately 4500 steps and burned between 300-400 calories. Keep in mind there was nothing complicated or hard to do in either of these walks. My FitBit graphed my walk, too, and by the colors on the graph it appears I was in my fat burning zone the majority of the walks with some spikes up into my cardio zone. So neither of these walks are intense. I did feel the work in my arm tho (I only used one arm due to shoulder surgery on my other), even with a light hand weight, and I got some steady state cardio. Perfect beginner workouts or if you just want something easier/lower intensity but you want to get your steps in, burn some calories and get in a bit of arm toning. Adding weight through a weighted vest, ankle weights and/or a weight belt helps increase the calorie burn/intensity, too.
