    Expert Answer
    What you want to do is split your leg routine into two days: one day that mainly focuses on your glutes and your hamstrings, and then another day that focuses on your quads and your calves. You'd want about 2 days per week of working out your legs.

  • Question
    I was thinking about starting with a trainer to make sure I have proper form and to reduce the chance of injuries. What is your advice?
    Community Answer
    You don't need a trainer go walking -- you already do it all the time! You know how. Just read all the advice on this page. In terms of posture, there are other articles on wikihow with extensive advice. Try to imagine that there is a string attached to your head pulling you up to keep you straight. Just do that and pull your shoulders back a little and you should be fine.

    How do I do a brisk walk daily?
    Community Answer
    Set aside >10 minutes, some time between 30 minutes past dinner or before bed. This is the best time to walk since more nutrients are absorbed from food and you will sleep better. Set an alarm on your phone or a reminder on a doorway/on the TV (so you can walk instead of wasting time on mildly interesting reality TV). Place your walking shoes in an obvious place to remind you (ie in front of the door). You can use a note or your shoes to block some negative habit you have, so that you can use your time better (such as in front of the TV/snack drawer/game console or phone or computer). Alternatively you could just walk places you normally go to.
