Santé is a proud co-sponsor of Team Continu, the elite skating team led by Marianne Timmer. As a renowned speed skating coach, Marianne shares a daily tip with Santé to help you stay fit and active. Her latest advice turns everyday dog walks into an effective workout.
Marianne: 'Walking with the dog is a pleasant activity. You can make the walk a little more sporty.'
Don't just walk—alternate between walking and running: one minute of running followed by one minute of walking. This builds your conditioning gradually and effectively.
Start with ten minutes and increase it each time you walk your dog. Try running for two minutes then walking for one. Track your active minutes to run more and longer over time.
