Walking is one of the most popular, convenient, and inexpensive ways to get and stay fit. Bottom line, it is safe and a fun way to get a great workout for your lower body. What about your upper body? Your lower body is doing all the work and receiving all the benefits from a healthy stroll, but your arms and shoulders do nothing. Hand weights are a popular addition to fitness walking, but they can cause strain on the arm, shoulder, and back muscles. They are also an inconvenience. What do you do with hand weights if, in the middle of your walk, you get tired? Do you plan on taking the weights with you when traveling? The solution is the Denise Austin Powerbelt walking system. It’s an effective, safe, and easy to use product developed for and inspired by walking for fitness. Easy to Use – Out of the box and on to your walking routine. * Effective – Burns up to 70% more calories than walking alone. * Versatile – Use it for walking, jogging, aerobics, and much more. * Safety – Smooth and safe resistance compared to hand weights. You already devote the time to walk. The result? A smaller waistline and strong, toned arms and shoulders.
