Family Circle Magazine was looking for some fitness professionals to provide some helpful tips to folks who were just getting into fitness, or looking to start a walking regiment. They called the project, “move to improve.”<\/p>\n

24 Hour Fitness tagged me as an expert to provide some advice on protecting your body while getting fit. This segment is available online and on their print magazine.<\/p>\n

Q: My knees are bad. Is walking okay for getting\u00a0in shape?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong>\u00a0Absolutely\u2014in fact, it\u2019s good for your knees. (So cross that excuse off your list!) \u201cWalking builds up your muscles, helping take pressure off your joints,\u201d says Angel Rodriguez, a group fitness instructor at 24 Hour Fitness in New York City. Try walking with a mix of stretching and strength training on non-cardio days. Start out on softer terrain (like grass or a cushioned track) instead of hard surfaces\u2014and avoid hills.<\/p>\n
