Glutes are Firing

I met with my WoW Walkers group yesterday morning, for a great workout. Coach Krista had a new drill for us (as developed by some of the other walking coaches) which involved aiming for 100 steps in 20 seconds. Crazy, but true. The idea is to focus on a shortened stride, and a faster turn over. We started with intervals of 10 seconds and built up to 30 seconds and then settled back to 20 seconds, each time counting the number of foot strikes with the goal to build to 100 strikes in 20 seconds. After this drill Krista had us doing lunges (up hill) and squats, and I have to tell you I can feel it is my backside this morning Yeah!!!! It is always great to work muscle groups that you think you are working but maybe not so much.
