Description

Dr. Sandy Kimbrough explains a simple, equipment-free indoor workout designed to keep students active when outdoor activities aren’t possible. It describes an interval walking routine where students move back and forth across a gym in increasing distances (single, double, triple, etc.), with short recovery breaks between efforts to create a wave effect in heart rate. The activity emphasizes maximizing walking speed during intervals, pairing students for motivation, and optionally adding exercises like squats or stretches between sets.
