Transcripts

Donna Wilkinson: This segment is going to be our walking segment. This is very good for people that want to build core strength, flexibility and balance. Things that are very important as we start to age. We want to maintain our balance, we want to be core strength and so we are just going to start out with a walking knee hugs.

So, basically we want to pull this knee up, keep your bottom leg straight and its just going to hug. You want to rush this. Nice hug, try to keep your balance on that bottom leg; its really important to work on that balance. Give that nice stretch on your upper thigh. Actually the bottom leg stays nice and straight. Good. You are going to want to do this for about 20 yards. If you are in hallway you might want to go down and back. If youve got a nice wide space, just go for 20 yards, get a real nice warm up and then we will go into our second walking exercise.
