A Step Up

(intermediate)

This program starts with a longer walk than the beginner program and builds to a higher level. It also increases the number of days/week from 3 up to as many as 5. If you find a particular week’s pattern too tiring, repeat it before going on to the next week. If you are walking hills, you should slow your pace and/or intensity to balance out the increased effort. You don’t have to complete the program in 12 weeks.
