My Beginning Plan from About.com

(To be tracked on the Presidents Challenge Website)

http://walking.about.com/cs/beginners/a/blhowschedule.htm

Week 1: Start with a daily 15 minute walk at an easy pace.
Walk five days the first week. We want to build a habit, so consistency is important. Spread out your rest days, such as making day 3 a rest day and day 6 a rest day.
Weekly total goal: 60 - 75 minutes.

Week 2: Add 5 minutes a day so you are walking 20 minutes, 5 days a week. Or you may wish to extend yourself more on some days, followed by a rest day.
Weekly total goal: 75 - 100 minutes.

Week 3: Add 5 minutes a day so you are walking 25 minutes, 5 days a week.
Weekly total goal: 100 - 125 minutes.

Week 4: Add 5 minutes a day to walk 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
Weekly total goal: 125 - 150 minutes.

Snags:If you find any week to be difficult, repeat that week rather than adding more time, until you are able to progress comfortably.

Graduate: Once you are able to walk 30 minutes at a time comfortably, progress to our Weekly Walking Workouts.
