2. Jog: Step up your pace & turn your walk into a jog. Jogging increases your heart rate & helps burn calories. Start with shorter distances & gradually increase your speed & distance over time. Remember to wear comfortable shoes & stay hydrated.

3. Hike: If you love nature & a bit of adventure, hiking is a fantastic choice. Find local hiking trails that suit your fitness level & immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. Hiking engages your leg muscles, improves balance, & offers a great cardiovascular workout.
